1969 Map of Dublin

About this map

Dublin and the surrounding rural landscape of Graves County are defined by a network of small creeks and rail lines that once anchored this agricultural community. The Illinois Central railroad cuts through the terrain, passing through Watts Station and south toward Wingo. This map shows the area as it transitioned into the late 20th century, with the Purchase Parkway introducing a modern corridor through the countryside. Local life is centered around several historic congregations and educational sites, including Pleasant Valley Ch, McClure Chapel, and the Folks School. The natural geography is dominated by the sprawling wetlands of Murphy Pond and the drainage of Obion Creek, providing a detailed look at the drainage patterns and the Hickman and Graves County line.
