1952 Map of Dennis

About this map

Russellville and its surrounding rural townships in Logan County are documented here in the early 1950s, a period when the agricultural landscape was punctuated by a dense network of country schools and churches. The terrain is defined by prominent elevations such as Sugarloaf Knob, Rainbow Rock Knob, and Buzzard Knob, which rise above the winding path of the Mud River. Transportation through the region follows the Louisville and Nashville Highway, connecting the county seat with smaller rural hubs like Dennis and Corinth. The map records specific community focal points of the era, including the Mud River Valley Sch and the Bibbs Chapel Com, alongside numerous family-named landmarks such as Cook Cem and Halls Store. The drainage patterns of Little Whippoorwill Creek and Pleasant Run provide a clear view of the natural water resources that shaped local settlement patterns.
