About this map

Round Top and the surrounding Fayette County countryside are defined by a network of small family settlements and rural institutions in the late 1950s. The landscape is carved by numerous watercourses, including Cummins Creek and its many tributaries like Kuhn Branch and Boggy Branch. The distribution of cemeteries such as Nassau Cem, Weyand Cem, and Krause Cem points to the area's deep-rooted pioneer genealogy, while religious life is anchored by St Martin Mission, St Johns Ch, and the Cornerville Primitive Ch.

Educational history is visible through the Round Top High Sch and Round Top-Carmine Sch, providing a look at the mid-century school system before further consolidation. Along the eastern edge, the Fayette County and Washington County line runs through Winedale, marking a historic boundary in this agricultural region. Numerous Oil Well symbols and Gravel Pits indicate the local extractive economy that operated alongside traditional farming.
