1964 Map of Burksville

About this map

Burksville serves as the focal point for this rural Shelby County landscape, surrounded by a network of family and community landmarks that defined the mid-century agricultural era. The terrain is deeply etched by the Salt River, North Tiger Fork River, and Black Creek, which create a series of winding ridges where small country churches like Old Brick Ch and Mt Zion Ch were established. These structures, along with Bethany Ch and Oak Dale Ch, suggest a settlement pattern where social life centered on localized congregations within the townships of Bethel and Tiger Fork.
