About this map

Louisville and Nashville tracks cross the northern landscape of this mid-1960s survey, connecting the small settlements of Warren and Powers. This agricultural region of Fayette County is characterized by numerous small family and community burial grounds, such as Ketchum Cem, Person Cem, and the uniquely named Walled Cem, which provide a dense record of early settlement patterns and genealogy.

The rural social fabric is further defined by scattered institutions like Mosby Sch and Spring Hill Ch. To the south, the village of Macon serves as a local hub near Shaws Creek, while Williston sits further east along the Watkins road. Significant water features like Glengary Lake and the drainage of Treadville Bottom Creek break the terrain, illustrating the relationship between the area's hydrology and the placement of long-standing homesteads and churches like Wesley Ch and St Pauls Ch.
