2016 Map of La Grange West

About this map

The Colorado River defines the geography of Fayette County in this survey, winding past the western edge of La Grange and cutting through a landscape of floodplains and bluffs. To the north and west, the terrain rises into the prairies of Rabbs Prairie and Raabe Prairie, where small settlements like Plum and Navidad serve as local hubs. This map is particularly valuable for genealogists, as it documents several rural burial sites including Plum Grove Cem, Williams Family Cem, and Mantan Cem, alongside family-named landmarks like Indian Hill. Transport networks are central to the area's layout, with State Highway 71 Bridge crossing the river and the Fayette Regional Air Center positioned south of Wendt. The southern portion of the sheet is dominated by significant elevations and watercourses, most notably Monument Hill and the confluence of Buckners Cr and O'Quinn Br as they flow toward the primary river valley.
