2012 Map of Royston

About this map

Royston and the small community of Pledger anchor this Fisher County landscape, where the agricultural plains meet a network of seasonal watercourses. The drainage of the Clear Fork and California Cr dominates the terrain, creating a pattern of meandering creek beds that break up the grid of county roads. In the southwestern corner, the Roby Cem serves as a significant local landmark for genealogical research, situated near the headwaters of Cottonwood Cr. The map reveals a rural economy dependent on these water sources, including named sites like Kyle Spring and the drainage of Sandy Cr. This survey documents a quiet stretch of West Texas just as it appeared in the early 21st century, illustrating how the modern road network, including FM-1085 and FM-2142, connects these dispersed settlements and traditional landmarks.
