1956 Map of Aldrich

About this map

The Stockton Lake reservoir dominates this landscape, its waters reaching into the deep hollows of the Sac River and Little Sac River systems. At the center of the sheet, the village of Aldrich sits at the edge of the expanded shoreline, near landmarks like Bungalow Hill and the High Point Public Use Area. The geography reflects the transition of the river valley following the creation of the lake, though many older rural indicators remain. Genealogists will find a wealth of local history preserved in the numerous family and community burial grounds, including Akard Cem, Trimble Cem, and Henderson Cem. The upland areas are marked by distinct topographical features such as Tommy Bluff and Turkey Knob, while the community’s spiritual life is centered at Pleasant Ridge Ch and Campground Ch.
