About this map

The lowlands of the Wolf River and its North Fork define the landscape of southeastern Fayette County, where small agricultural communities are linked by winding country roads. This area is characterized by an exceptionally high density of historic burial sites, reflecting generations of family settlement. Genealogists will find an extensive network of cemeteries including Watkins Cem, Shiloh Cem, and Johnson Cem, alongside church-affiliated grounds such as the Forty-Five Baptist Church Cem.

Settlement patterns center on the small crossroads of Forty Five and Rather, while the larger community of La Grange occupies the eastern edge of the quadrangle. The survey detail highlights how the terrain is segmented by numerous small tributaries like Watkins Cr and Beasley Cr, which feed into the broader wetlands of the river valley. Distinct local landmarks such as Wilson Field and the complex plots of the New Zion Cem - Old East Section provide specific touchstones for researchers tracing local land use and community heritage.
