1955 Map of Blue Mountain
USGS Topo · Published 1956About this map
Blue Mountain and the Holly Springs National Forest define this landscape at the intersection of Benton, Union, and Marshall counties. The regional geography is marked by the Gulf Mobile and Ohio and St Louis San Francisco railroads, which facilitated the movement of timber and agricultural goods from small centers like Hickory Flat and Myrtle. Notable for local history and genealogy, the map identifies numerous rural congregations such as St Matthew Ch, Bois D' Arc Ch, and Beulah Isad Ch, alongside small schoolhouses including Shady Grove Sch and Union Grove Sch. The topography reveals the Oaklimeter Hills and the Helpsy Hills, with unique water features like the Flowing Well near the Marshall County line. This survey provides a look at the mid-century infrastructure of Tippah County, where the industrial footprint includes a Claypit and the Myrtle Lookout Tower.
