About this map

La Grange serves as the focal point for this survey of the Fayette County landscape, situated along the northern banks of the Colorado River. The area shows a transition from the structured street grid of the town—including streets like E Colorado St and E Fannin St—to the surrounding rural uplands. Historical settlement patterns are evident in the outlying communities of Oldenburg, Rutersville, and Halsted.

To the south, Monument Hill overlooks the river valley, while the countryside is dotted with family and community landmarks like Moore Cem. The landscape is defined by its drainages, with Rocky Cr and Wertzner Cr cutting through the terrain. Evidence of modern land use is also visible, from the Soil Conservation Service Site 22 Reservoir to private aviation facilities like Thunderbird Southwest Airport and Rocky Creek Ranch Airport, illustrating how this agricultural region has adapted over the decades.
