1951 Map of Boonshill

USGS Topo · Published 1951

About this map

Boonshill and its neighboring rural settlements are documented here during the early post-war era, situated among the complex drainage systems of the Elk River. The map reveals a deeply established social landscape through its density of rural institutions, such as Beech Grove Church, Browns Temple Church, and schoolhouses like Mary Chapel School. The terrain is characterized by numerous hollows, including Reed Hollow and Sawyer Hollow, which dictate the winding paths of local roads and the placement of family farms. The presence of Old Fishing Ford Road and the Union Camp Ground Branch points to the historical importance of river access and community gathering spaces in Lincoln County. Several small hamlets such as East Cyruston and Pearl City are visible alongside the river's loops, like Hovis Bend and Pitts Bend, showing how the water's course shaped agricultural boundaries and transportation routes.
