About this map

The boundary between Lee and Fayette Counties defines this rural landscape during the early 1960s, a period where small-scale agriculture and transit-oriented settlements anchored the region. Northrup sits along the Southern Pacific rail line, while further south, the community of Warda serves as a hub of local life, anchored by a Cem and nearby Holy Cross Sch. The topography is intricately carved by an extensive drainage network, including Rabbs Creek and several variations of Pin Oak Creek.

Land use on this sheet reflects a mix of traditional rural infrastructure and mid-century utility developments. Multiple Gravel Pit locations dot the northern hills, while a modern Radio Tower (KWHI) and a Substation signal the era's growing technological needs. The presence of a Youth Camp along a bend in Rabbs Creek and a Roadside Park along the primary highway suggests a landscape transitioning toward recreational and traveler-oriented services.
