1958 Map of Fayetteville

About this map

Fayetteville serves as the central hub of this South Central Texas landscape, where the Missouri Kansas Texas railroad line cuts a path through the rolling terrain toward Tamberg. This 1958 survey, updated with late-1970s aerial data, reveals a rural landscape anchored by historic congregations and burial grounds, including the Halimeck Cem Ch and Sweet Home Ch. To the west, the creation of Lake Fayette significantly altered the drainage of Cedar Creek, while a network of smaller waterways like Cummins Creek and Jones Creek continue to define the outlying agricultural areas. The presence of smaller communities like Roznov and Rek Hill, alongside family-named landmarks such as Ellers Cem and Big Spring Hill, provides a clear view of the settlement patterns in Fayette County before modern expansion further transitioned the local economy.
