1971 Map of China Grove

About this map

China Grove serves as a central landmark in this 1970s landscape, where the borders of Bullock, Montgomery, and Pike counties converge. The terrain is defined by an intricate network of waterways, including China Grove Creek, Panther Creek, and Log Creek, which carve through the rural countryside. Numerous small rural congregations are documented here, such as Mt Carmel Ch near Pinhook Creek and Friendship Ch to the south. The prevalence of Sandpit sites throughout the central and western portions of the quadrangle suggests localized extractive activity during this era. Long-standing local transit is represented by Grant Ranch Road, while small settlements like Shopton and Hector anchor the northern reaches near the Montgomery County line.
