About this map

The town of Lott serves as the central hub of this Falls County survey, which documents a landscape transitioning through several decades of development. Originally compiled in the early 1960s with updates through the 1990s, the map reveals a rural economy shaped by both traditional agriculture and the emergence of the local oil industry, evidenced by numerous Oil Wells and a Drill Hole scattered across the eastern sections. An Old Railroad Grade indicates the path of former transit lines that once connected this region to larger markets.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family and community burial grounds, including Carolina Cem, Union Cem, Clover Hill Cem, and Live Oak Cem. To the south, the settlement of Travis appears near the Rosebud-Lott High Sch, while local drainages such as Deer Creek, Pond Creek, and Watermelon Branch define the natural topography. Cultural landmarks like the Roadside Park and various Radio Tower sites further illustrate the mid-to-late 20th-century character of the area.
