2013 Map of Nechanitz

About this map

Nechanitz and its surrounding Fayette County landscape are defined by a network of rural roads and creek branches that support a legacy of family settlements and farming. The map highlights several local burying grounds that anchor the community's history, including Schumann Cem, Bell Cem, and the Waldeck Cem located near the intersection of Waldeck Rd and Waldeck Cemetery Rd. The terrain is shaped by many small waterways such as Turkey Cr and Shaw Cr, with several artificial reservoirs constructed for soil conservation. Regional transportation and infrastructure are visible through the presence of Ullrich Airport and the Anchorage Farm Field Airport. The small community of Walhalla in the southeast and the area around Hellers Hill show the continued importance of farm-to-market routes like Farm-To-Market Road 1291 in connecting these isolated Texas homesteads.
