2019 Map of Flatonia

About this map

The town of Flatonia serves as the central hub of this South Texas landscape, where the primary rail and road corridors intersect. Located in Fayette County, the settlement pattern reveals a transition from the structured town grid to more dispersed rural communities like Engle to the east. The genealogy of the area is well-preserved through numerous family and community burial sites, including the Old Flatonia Cem and the Slavonic Cem, reflecting the diverse cultural heritage of the region's early settlers. The terrain is defined by the drainage systems of Mulberry Cr and Big Rocky Cr, which wind through the countryside south of Obar Hill. A network of farm-to-market roads, such as FM 609 and FM 154, connects the outlying agricultural lands to the town center, while features like Ring Lake provide distinct landmarks in the local topography.
