1963 Map of Custer

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

Marks Ridge dominates the central landscape of this 1963 Breckinridge County survey, dividing the waters of Fiddlers Creek from the deeply incised valleys to the south. The rising waters of the Rough River Reservoir are shown at their normal pool elevation of 495 feet, winding through the North Fork and Rough River channels. This era captures the rural character of the region just as large-scale hydrological changes were altering the local geography. Small settlements like Custer, Hudson, and Locust Hill serve as local hubs, connected by a network of winding roads that follow the high ground between numerous prongs and creeks. Genealogy researchers will find significant value in the high density of family burial grounds scattered throughout the hills, including Whitworth Cem, Horsley Cem, and the New Salem Ch Cem. The presence of the Lookout Tower and Alexander Chapel provides further landmarks in this traditionally agricultural landscape.
