About this map

Beall Springs serves as a focal point in this 1971 survey of the rural landscape straddling the Warren and Glascock County line. The map reveals a community structured around its water sources and small-town gathering places, such as the Spring Roadside Park and several local churches. A network of small waterways, including Rocky Comfort Creek, Joes Creek, and Acy Branch, carves through the undulating terrain, punctuated by the high point of Stony Hill to the north.

Religious and social life is anchored by a significant number of rural chapels, such as Williams Grove Ch near Five Points and New Salem Ch further north. This period of the early 1970s shows a landscape still defined by its traditional rural routes and small-scale industry, evidenced by a Gravel Pit and the presence of Johnsons Lake in the northeastern corner. The distribution of these features suggests a stable agricultural community where local landmarks like Fellowship Ch and Mill Creek Ch provided essential community structure.
