1963 Map of Fayetteville

About this map

Davis Creek and its southern branch wind through the rural landscape of Lafayette and Johnson counties, defining a region dominated by small agricultural settlements and dispersed community landmarks. The small hamlet of Fayetteville sits in the southeast corner near the banks of Crooked Creek, while Robbins marks a central point along the local road network. This early 1960s survey illustrates a deeply rooted social geography, where rural life centered on institutions like Wallace Chapel, Cedar Grove Ch, and Long Branch Ch. Several Quarry sites are noted across the terrain, indicating the importance of local stone extraction alongside traditional farming. The map also records the location of the Farmers Sch, a vestige of the era's local educational system before widespread consolidation, and identifies the township boundaries of Davis, Washington, and Hazel Hill.
