1951 Map of Dot

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

The Kentucky-Tennessee border serves as the defining line for this 1951 topographic survey, where the winding waters of Whippoorwill Creek and the Red River carve through the landscape of Logan and Robertson counties. The settlement pattern is defined by small, rural clusters and country crossroads such as Dot and the colorfully named Lickskillet. The density of rural institutions, including Cedar Grove School and a high concentration of community landmarks like Emmanuel Ch and Bethany Ch, suggests a landscape of tight-knit agricultural social centers that were still largely intact at mid-century before more modern rural consolidation. This survey captures the terrain just as aerial photography began to modernize mapping, showing the intricate relationship between the oxbow bends of the South Fork Red River and the small family settlements of Salem and Center Point.
