About this map

Macon and Williston anchor this corner of Fayette County, where the landscape is defined by the winding paths of Shaws Creek and Hargis Creek. The 1960s survey, updated with 1980s data, reveals a deeply established rural community marked by numerous family and community burial grounds, such as Granbery Cem and Macon Cem. Education and faith served as the social backbone of the area, evidenced by the presence of Mosby Sch and Spring Hill Ch.

Treadville Bottom and the wetlands along Cypress Creek indicate the low-lying terrain that influenced local development. While traditional settlements remain focused around crossroad junctions, the inclusion of the County Airport near Williston highlights the mid-century infrastructure shifts in this agricultural region. The map provides a detailed record of land use and property boundaries, valuable for tracing local genealogy across the many named cemeteries and churches.
