1958 Map of Arlee

About this map

Chief Cornstalk State Hunting Ground dominates the central and northern reaches of this map, illustrating the state's conversion of these wooded ridges into protected recreational space. The landscape is defined by its extreme topography, where narrow, winding ridges like Loggerhead Ridge and Sevenmile Ridge separate deep-cut hollows and small watercourses. The settlement of Arlee sits at a high elevation junction, while the surrounding hills are dotted with rural landmarks that speak to the area's social history. Genealogists will find a wealth of specific family and community sites, including numerous country churches such as Potts Chapel and Siloam Ch, alongside small cemeteries like Barrs Chapel Cem and Williamson Cem. The presence of Woods Sch and Buckle Sch highlights the scattered nature of rural education in Mason and Putnam Counties before the era of widespread school consolidation.
