2010 Map of Ledbetter

About this map

Ledbetter serves as the primary hub of this rural Fayette County landscape, where the road network converges near the banks of Cummins Creek. The terrain is defined by an intricate system of water management, including the Soil Conservation Service Site 1 Reservoir and Soil Conservation Service Site 2 Reservoir, along with Goerlitz Lake and its associated dam. These features highlight the mid-century and later efforts to control local hydrology for agricultural and conservation purposes. Genealogists will find significant local value in the presence of family-named burial grounds such as Atkinson Cemetery, Rost Cemetery, and Wolf Cemetery, which are scattered throughout the countryside. The map also documents the Bar S Ranch Airport, reflecting the integration of private aviation into the ranching economy. Numerous small waterways, such as Nails Creek, Pin Oak Creek, and Flat Rock Creek, weave through the parcels of land, providing a clear picture of the area's natural drainage and property boundaries.
