About this map

The township boundaries of Murry and Atlanta define this portion of Rusk County, where the landscape is marked by a legacy of early timber or agricultural transport. The presence of an Old Railroad Grade winding through the northern sections near Big Weirgor Creek indicates a shift in the local economy from rail-dependent industry to the road networks of the 1970s.

Remote woods and wetlands surround numerous waterways, including Spring Creek, Becky Creek, and Alder Creek. Genealogists and local historians will find the Blue Hills Cem in the southern portion of the sheet near Devils Creek, alongside a designated Picnic Area and a Gravel Pit. Transportation routes like the Serley Camp Trail and Meadow Dam Road provide evidence of the rural infrastructure connecting these isolated townships during the early 1970s.
