1951 Map of Dot

About this map

Whippoorwill Creek carves a highly sinuous path through the landscape of the Kentucky Tennessee border, defining the rural character of this 1951 survey. The map reveals a dense network of country churches and small schools that served the dispersed agricultural community, including Cedar Grove Sch and Bethany Ch. The settlement of Dot sits near the center of the sheet, where the Red River meets its southern tributaries. The topographic detail highlights the complex drainage patterns of the South Fork Red River and Spring Creek, illustrating how local topography influenced the placement of early homesteads and landmarks like Lickskillet and Oakville. Genealogists will find particular value in the numerous family-oriented church sites such as Smith Grove Ch and Mt Lebanon Ch scattered across the Logan and Robertson County lines.
