About this map

The Colorado River carves a winding path through this portion of Fayette County, defining a landscape of alluvial prairies and river bluffs northwest of the county seat. The small community of Plum sits along the southern edge of these bottomlands, anchored by Railroad St and the historic Plum Grove Cem. The map illustrates a transition from the agricultural expanses of Rabbs Prairie and Raabe Prairie to the more developed outskirts of La Grange, where the State Highway 71 Bridge crosses the river near Chalk Bluff.

Genealogists will find several family-named burial sites across the territory, including the Williams Family Cem near Shiloh Br and the Taylor Cem located south of Buckners Creek. Landmarks such as Monument Hill and Mount Maria Spring provide specific points of interest for local historians, while the Fayette Regional Air Center occupies a central position between the rural north and the growing western edge of the city.
