1998 Map of Bald Knob

About this map

The town of Witt sits in the northwest corner of this landscape, where the Irving railroad line cuts through the prairie toward the Montgomery and Fayette county line. The terrain is defined by the complex drainage of the East Fork and Shoal Creek, which wind through the township of Witt into Fillmore. Notable for genealogists are several rural landmarks, including the Armentrout Cemetery and the Casey Cemetery, which mark the early social footprint of these farming communities. The presence of rural institutions like Woodside Church and Bost Hill Church alongside small aviation sites like the McNeely Landing Strip reflects a transition from traditional agrarian life to modern local infrastructure. The namesake Bald Knob rises as a distinct landmark in the eastern portion of the sheet near Hurricane Creek, overlooking a network of country roads and waterway branches like Dry Fork and Lanes Branch.
