1950 Map of Chestnut Grove

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

The Buffalo River meanders through the heart of Perry County, its winding path punctuated by river markers and historic crossings like DePriest Bend. This mid-century survey reveals a landscape defined by its deep hollows and family-named ridges, where small communities like Beardstown and Chestnut Grove served as local hubs. For genealogists, the map is remarkably detailed, noting numerous family burial grounds including Harris Cem, Johnson Cem, and Taylor Cem. The presence of the Linden Lookout Tower near Ledbetter Hollow highlights the importance of forestry in the region during the 1950s. Farther south, cultural landmarks like Fairview Ch and Warren Ch anchor the rural neighborhoods, while natural features like Warren Cave and Twomey Spring provide a sense of the area's karst topography.
