About this map

The Little River winds through the southwestern corner of this 1962 landscape, marking a topographical transition where the bottomlands meet the rising timbered hills. Near the river, the settlement of Ringold stands as a focal point of local activity, while further east, the small community of Alikchi is situated near a prominent Spring. These rural hubs are connected by a network of unimproved roads and fence lines that trace the homesteads of the early 1960s.

Genealogists and local historians will find value in the location of the Wilson Chapel Cem and the naming of distinctive terrain features like Fowler. The map captures a water-rich environment characterized by numerous drainages such as Wilson Creek, Terrapin Creek, and Sulphur Creek, alongside isolated water bodies like Tucker Lake. Evidence of local industry is sparse but present, noted by a Gravel Pit along the river's edge, reflecting the simple resource extraction typical of the era.
