2024 Map of Boyd

About this map

Perry anchor the southern edge of this Taylor County landscape, where the town's grid meets a sprawling network of logging roads and drainage canals. Northward, the terrain transitions into the dense wetlands of San Pedro Bay, a region defined by its timber and water management history. The map meticulously documents a lineage of rural community life through its concentration of family and church burial grounds, including the Shiloh Cem, Pisgah Cem, and the Boyd Methodist Church Cem in the settlement of Boyd. Infrastructure designed for the local timber industry is evident in the straight tracks of the Madison Main Line and the Paul Jefferies Logging Rd, which cut through the swampy lowlands. Waterways like Rocky Creek and Spring Creek wind through the interior, while the Main Bay Canal Grd suggests a highly engineered approach to the surrounding bay and creek systems.
