About this map

The Westphalia Rural Historic District anchors the northwestern corner of this landscape, reflecting the enduring agricultural roots of Falls County. This 2010 survey shows a network of rural settlements, including Westphalia, Barclay, Zipperlandville, and Wilson, connected by a web of county roads and farm-to-market routes like FM 1772. The area is notably rich in community landmarks, with Saint Marys Cemetery, Barclay Cemetery, and Saint Joseph Cemetery providing critical points of reference for local family history and genealogy.

Water plays a central role in the terrain, with Little Pond Creek and Brushy Creek cutting through the fields. In the east, Rosebud Lake and the City of Rosebud Dam sit near Smith Lake, while smaller religious and community sites like Terry Chapel remain embedded in the countryside. The geography is dominated by small-scale cattle and grain operations, evidenced by features such as Krause Lake Dam.
