About this map

Benton and Stillwater anchor the eastern edge of this landscape, situated along the West Branch Fishing Creek during a period of transition in the mid-20th century. The terrain is defined by a series of narrow valleys and prominent heights like Bald Hill and O'Brien Hill, where small upland settlements such as Waller, Polkville, and Derrs represent the rural community structure of Columbia County. The map reveals a specialized local infrastructure, featuring the Consolidated Sch and several country churches like the Greenwood Union Ch that served the scattered farmsteads of Greenwood and Jackson townships.
