2016 Map of Swiss Alp

About this map

Hostyn and Swiss Alp anchor this agricultural region of Fayette County, where the landscape is defined by the headwaters and branches of the Navidad River. The terrain is a network of small drainages including E Navidad River, W Navidad River, and Middle Cr, which have shaped the settlement patterns and road networks over generations. This modern survey reflects a deeply rooted rural community, where the land is still partitioned by family names and local landmarks such as Lake El-Leo. Numerous cemeteries like Cedar Cem, Kaase Cem, and Williams Creek Cem are scattered across the quadrangle, serving as vital touchstones for genealogical research in the areas surrounding O'Quinn and Freyburg. The road system, from established routes like FM 609 to local loops like Swiss Alp Hills Loop, traces the historic divisions of these Texas farmsteads.
