1960 Map of Bettie

USGS Topo · Published 1962

About this map

Bettie sits at the center of this rural Upshur County landscape, serving as a hub for the St Louis Southwestern RR and surrounding agricultural communities in the early 1960s. The map illustrates a dense network of local landmarks, from the Union Ridge Community Center in the north to the Cherokee Missionary Ch in the south. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Little Cypress Creek and its many tributaries, such as Hefner Branch and Poor Creek, which drain the low-lying areas between Union Ridge and the Barnwell Mountains. One notable modern addition to the traditional landscape of country churches and cemeteries is the Drag Strip located just south of Bettie, contrasting with the historic Cherokee Trace that passes through the region. This survey captures a specific moment when family-named landmarks like Smith Siding and Blasingame still anchored the local geography.
