About this map

The Middle Fork Grand River and East Fork Grand River converge in this borderland landscape, where the rural townships of Clinton and Fletchall meet at the state line. Surveyed in the late 1970s, the map reveals a network of country churches and family burial grounds that define the local social geography. Notable landmarks include Hickory Grove Ch and its namesake Hickory Grove Cem in the northeast, alongside Pleasant Hill Ch and Fletchall Ch.

Industry in this period is represented by scattered Quarry and Quarries operations near the riverbanks. The drainage patterns of Fletchall Creek and Fiddlers Creek show how the terrain transitions as it crosses from Ringgold and Worth counties. This cartography is particularly valuable for genealogists, as it identifies small, localized sites like Clark Allen Cem, Crim Cem, and Douglas Cem that might otherwise be overlooked in broader regional studies.
