1964 Map of Jeddo

About this map

Jeddo and Salem anchor this rural landscape along the borders of Bastrop, Caldwell, Fayette, and Gonzales counties as it appeared in the early 1960s. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of Peach Creek and Copperas Creek, which flow through a region of scattered farmsteads and small country congregations. Local history is centered around sites such as St Phillips Chapel and its associated St Phillips Cem, alongside Williams Chapel and the Jeddo Cem further south. These features, along with prominent landmarks like Brown Hill, suggest a persistent agricultural and community structure that remained largely unchanged into the early 1980s. A small Gravel Pit and isolated Landing Strips provide evidence of local industry and transport within this four-county junction, while the many fence lines and unimproved roads show the deep-seated property divisions of the Texas countryside.
