1964 Map of Bethel

About this map

The Little Fabius River and North Fabius River wind through the northern townships of this mid-1960s survey of the Shelby and Knox County line. The settlement of Bethel anchors the southern portion of the map, characterized by a concentrated grid of streets and several local landmarks including Hebron Cem, Zion Cem, and Pickett Cem. Small agricultural hamlets like Plevna and Epworth are visible, serving as focal points for the surrounding rural sections. The landscape is dotted with numerous country churches and cemeteries, such as Mount Pisgah Ch and its adjacent Mount Pisgah Park, which reflect the community centers of the era. The terrain is defined by the branching tributaries of the Fabius system, including North Tiger Fork and Garnett Branch, which create a network of drainage across the primarily agricultural plains.
