About this map

Round Top and the surrounding Fayette County countryside are defined by a dense network of family-named roads and burial grounds, reflecting the deep German-Texan roots of this Central Texas region. The landscape is carved by the winding course of Cummins Cr and its tributaries like Shaw Cr and Rocky Cr. The map reveals a high concentration of small family and community cemeteries, including the Sternberg Cem, Hill Cem, and the notable Richter Hill Cem African American east of the main settlement.

Religious and social centers like the Bethlehem Lutheran Cem and Saint Martin Mission Cem near Warrenton anchor the local geography. Numerous soil conservation reservoirs, such as Soil Conservation Service Site 6 Reservoir, are scattered throughout the watershed, marking 20th-century efforts to manage the local environment and agriculture. The boundary between Washington County and Fayette County bisects the northeastern corner, tracing a history of early Texas land partitions.
