2010 Map of Swiss Alp

About this map

Swiss Alp and the surrounding Fayette County countryside are defined by a network of creeks and small settlements in this 2010 survey. The landscape is a transition between the West Navidad River and East Navidad River, which converge south of the quadrangle. Several distinct rural communities including Hostyn, O'Quinn, and Freyburg serve as local hubs for the surrounding farm and ranch land. Genealogical interest is centered on well-placed sites such as Cedar Cemetery, Kaase Cemetery, and Williams Creek Cemetery, often located near prominent water features like Creamer Creek and Williams Creek. The introduction of Lake El-Leo and its corresponding Lake El-Leo Dam north of Hostyn represents a significant modern water management feature in an area otherwise characterized by natural drainages like Buckners Creek and Walker Branch.
