2022 Map of Swiss Alp

About this map

Swiss Alp and the surrounding Fayette County countryside are defined by the convergence of several major tributaries, most notably the E Navidad River and W Navidad River. This agricultural landscape is dotted with long-established settlements such as Hostyn, O'Quinn, and Freyburg, each anchored by historical institutions. Genealogists will find a high density of burial grounds including Holy Rosary Catholic Church Cem and the United Evangelical Lutheran Cem, reflecting the early Central Texas immigrant communities that shaped this region. The map reveals an intricate network of local farm-to-market roads and family-named routes like Ohnhreiser Kaase Rd and Falke-Heinrich Rd, which traverse a terrain drained by numerous branches like Iron-Ore Br and Buckners Cr. The presence of small reservoirs like Lake El-Leo further illustrates the rural land use patterns of this Texas prairie and creek environment.
