1954 Map of Cedar Hill

About this map

Big River winds through the hills of northwestern Jefferson County, serving as the dominant geographic feature for the surrounding rural communities during the mid-20th century. The settlement at Morse Mill sits along a sharp bend in the river, reflecting the area's historical reliance on water power and river-valley transport. Photorevisions from the late 1960s and early 1970s illustrate the gradual development of residential clusters like Cedar Hill Lakes and the growth around Lake Adelle, while the western portion of the map remains defined by more traditional rural landmarks.
