1962 Map of Fayette

About this map

The Emerald Mound stands as a prominent landmark on this terrain, signaling the deep pre-colonial history of the region. By the early 1960s, the landscape around the county seat of Fayette and nearby Harriston was defined by a mature extraction economy, evidenced by the extensive Cranfield Oil and Gas Field and the Forest Home Oil Field. These industrial zones sit in contrast to the numerous rural congregations and family burial grounds that dot the countryside, such as Chelsea Hill Ch and Old Gravel Hill Cem.
