About this map

Peach Creek and its numerous tributaries, including Little Copperas Creek and Copperas Creek, define the landscape of this rural crossing where Bastrop, Caldwell, Fayette, and Gonzales counties converge. In the mid-1960s, this area remained largely agricultural and wooded, with small community centers like Jeddo and Salem serving as local anchors. The map reveals a cluster of cultural landmarks near the northern edge, most notably St Phillips Chapel and the adjacent St Phillips Cem.

Further south, the terrain rises toward Brown Hill, while a local industrial presence is noted by a Gravel Pit near the creek. This survey is particularly useful for genealogists, as it documents specific community institutions such as Williams Chapel and maintains clear delineations of the complex county boundaries. The prevalence of fine red dashed lines indicates a landscape of established property divisions and rural fence lines at the time of the 1963 aerial survey.
