1959 Map of Britton

About this map

Britton sits at the convergence of several county lines in the late 1950s, serving as a quiet crossroads for the rail-and-creek landscape south of Arlington. The area is defined by the winding course of Mountain Creek and its many tributaries, including Walnut Creek and Bowman Branch. The geography of the late 1950s reveals a community deeply rooted in its local institutions, with small rural centers like St Paul Ch and Friendship Ch providing focal points for local residents. Multiple family and community burial grounds, such as Estes Cem, Cope Cem, and Pleasant Valley Cem, are scattered across the terrain, offering significant value for genealogical research.
