About this map

The Colorado River defines the northern reaches of this landscape as it flows past the small settlements of Kirtley and West Point. This region of Fayette County is characterized by a dense network of tributaries, including Bartons Cr, Cedar Cr, and Robinson Cr, which carve through the land and influence the placement of local roads. These waterways converge and branch toward the southern settlement of Lena, illustrating the hydrological importance of the basin in this part of Texas.

Local history is preserved in the presence of Woods Prairie Cem and Mt Olive Cem, which serve as vital landmarks for genealogical research. The road network, featuring names like W Point Depot Loop and Lady Bird Loop, reflects the community’s connection to its past infrastructure and regional figures. Notable water features like Shipp Lake and Little Pin Oak Cr add further detail to the rural terrain, marking the intersection of natural geography and long-standing human settlement.
