About this map

Chambersville anchors this portion of Calhoun County, where a network of rural roads and timber-associated features defines the landscape in the early 1970s. The terrain is marked by the winding courses of Champagnolle Creek and Whitewater Creek, which cut through a topography punctuated by high points like Bluff Hill and Big Hill. Significant local landmarks include the Bud Hill Lookout Tower and several rural congregations such as Mt Pleasant Ch and Mt Olive Ch.

Evidence of the local economy and social structure is found in the numerous gravel pits and well-distributed cemeteries like Newton Cem and Calaway Cem. A Tram and Pipeline cross the central and eastern sections, indicating the industrial movement of materials through the piney woods. Named routes like Hugh Jones Road and Gaines Landing Road provide vital connections between the scattered homesteads and the Roadside Park along the highway.
