About this map

Somerville serves as the focal point of this Fayette County survey, situated just south of the Loosahatchie River. The town's grid and the Somerville Post Office sit at a convergence of local routes including Kay Ln and Rehoboth Rd. The landscape is notably dense with family and community burial grounds, such as Stitts Cemetery, Brooks Cemetery, and Whitaker Cemetery, which offer significant value for genealogists tracing early regional families.

Moving south toward Williston, the terrain is defined by the drainage basins of Bennetts Creek and Black Creek, eventually reaching the North Fork Wolf River at the map's southern edge. This rural expanse is crisscrossed by established roads like La Grange Rd and Jernigan Dr, connecting isolated landmarks like Smiths Chapel Cemetery and Asbury Cemetery. The distribution of these sites across the countryside reflects a long-standing pattern of dispersed agrarian settlement between the river forks.
