1963 Map of Chapel Hill

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

Chapel Hill sits at the nexus of several rural townships where the headwaters of the South Fork Blackwater River and Sni-A-Bar Creek meet. This early 1960s survey documents a landscape defined by its stream network and the dividing lines of Jackson, Lafayette, and Johnson counties. The drainage patterns are intricate, with Horseshoe Creek and Little Horseshoe Creek carving through the northwest, while the East Fork Sni-A-Bar Creek moves through the central sections. For local historians, the map preserves the exact locations of several smaller community landmarks, including Concord Ch and numerous family or church burial grounds such as Hill Cem, Cobb Cem, and Shore Cem. A solitary Radio Tower and scattered Gravel Pit workings represent the modest industrial and infrastructure footprint in this predominantly agricultural region during the mid-century period.
