About this map

The community of Petteway sits at the junction of several county roads in a landscape defined by the complex drainage of the Brazos River basin. The map reveals a high concentration of small, family-named watercourses such as Big Sandy Cr and Walnut Cr, which divide the terrain into distinct prairies and ridges. This 2022 survey preserves the locations of several historic burial grounds, including the Heards Prairie - Petteway Cem, White Rock Cem, and Walnut Cem, reflecting the deep-rooted agricultural settlement patterns of the region.

The presence of Abraham Lake and several smaller unnamed ponds indicates the persistent importance of water management in this rural stretch of Robertson and Falls counties. Large parcels are accessed by a web of local routes like Prairie Grove Rd and White Rock Rd, which follow the natural contours of the land. The confluence of Hurricane Cr and Long Br further illustrates the intricate hydrology that has shaped local property lines and farming practices for generations.
