1954 Map of Charlotte

About this map

Charlotte sits at the center of this rural Independence County landscape, where the rolling hills are defined by the winding paths of Curia Creek and Dota Creek. The area’s mid-century character is preserved through an extensive network of family and community landmarks, including numerous small burial grounds such as Convenience Cem, McDonald Cem, and Batman Cem. These sites, alongside rural congregations at Antioch Ch and Oak Hill Ch, suggest a long-established settlement pattern rooted in the creek valleys.
