About this map

Westphalia anchors this central Texas landscape, where the church spires of St Marys Ch and the neighboring St Marys Cem overlook the fertile blackland prairies. The settlement pattern here is defined by small rural hubs such as Zipperlandville, Barclay, and Terry Chapel, which are connected by a network of farm-to-market roads and an Old Railroad Grade that traces the eastern edge of the quadrangle.

Hydrology plays a central role in the topography, with Little Pond Creek, Brushy Creek, and Keys Creek cutting through the terrain towards Rosebud Lake. These drainages separate the upland farms from the bottomlands. Local religious life is further represented by Salem Ch, while agricultural infrastructure, including a Grain Elevator and various Storage Bins, underscores the region's enduring farming economy during the latter half of the twentieth century.
