2010 Map of Flatonia

About this map

Flatonia serves as the central hub of this South Texas landscape, where the Union Pacific railroad corridor dictates the local geography. The map reveals a distinct historical shift from Old Flatonia to the current town site, reflecting the influence of 19th-century rail development on Fayette County settlements. To the southeast, the small community of Praha remains a significant point of interest, anchored by the Slavonic Cemetery and a network of rural roads such as FM 1295. The terrain is defined by a series of drainage systems, including Mulberry Creek and Big Rocky Creek, which carve through the countryside near Obar Hill. Numerous family-named roads and localized cemeteries, like the Criswell Cemetery and Pine Springs Cemetery, provide essential spatial data for genealogists tracing ancestral landholdings in this agricultural region.
