1958 Map of Greenvine

About this map

The agrarian landscape of South Central Texas is captured here across the meeting point of Washington, Austin, and Fayette Counties. The small rural settlements of Greenvine, Latium, Shelby, and Wesley anchor a terrain defined by the headwaters of West Fork Mill Creek and Dogwood Creek. This map is particularly valuable for genealogical research, documenting numerous family-named burial sites such as the Jaeger Witte Cem, Mayer Cem, and Burkhardt Cem. A notable localized landmark includes Harmonie Hall in Shelby, reflecting the German heritage common to this region. Near the Fayette-Austin county line, a Historical Marker (David Shelby Grave) identifies the resting place of one of the Old Three Hundred settlers, illustrating how deeply the early Texas colonial history is embedded in this corner of the state.
