1952 Map of Allegre

About this map

Pond River and its numerous tributaries, including the curiously named Slim Jimmy Branch and Wolf Branch, define the broken landscape of this Todd County region in the early 1950s. The settlement patterns reflect a deeply rooted rural community, where life centered around local congregations and family burying grounds. Small clusters like Allegre and Clifty serve as anchors among the hills, while landmarks such as Mt Tabor Ch and Collier Spring Ch indicate the social hubs of the era. Genealogists will find a wealth of specific data in the numerous family cemeteries scattered throughout the quadrangle, such as Slaughter Cem, Simons Cem, and Porter Cem. The presence of a Radio Tower near the center of the sheet and the topographical detail of Dead Man Hollow provide a clear view of the physical and technological landscape as it existed during the post-war period.
