About this map

The small settlement of Jeddo serves as a central landmark in this 1964 survey, situated where the borders of Bastrop, Caldwell, and Fayette counties converge. The landscape is defined by the winding paths of Peach Creek and Copperas Creek, which carve through the undulating terrain of south-central Texas. This era of mapping captures rural life through its dispersed community centers, notably the Salem community and the St Phillips Chapel site, which includes the St Phillips Cem.

Further south, the map documents Brown Hill and the Williams Chapel area near the Gonzales County line. The mapping of a Gravel Pit along the banks of Little Copperas Creek indicates the localized industrial activity of the period. For genealogists and local historians, the inclusion of fine red dashed lines indicating selected fence lines provides a rare look at property divisions and land use patterns as they existed in the early 1960s.
