1949 Map of Eagle Creek

About this map

The ridge-and-hollow terrain of Wayne County is defined by the winding paths of Hardin Creek and Eagle Creek in this mid-century survey. The landscape is dotted with small communities and family landmarks, such as Clifton Junction and Philadelphia Ch, while numerous rural cemeteries like Grimes Cem and Haggard Cem provide vital clues for genealogical research. The map reveals an intricate drainage pattern of dozens of named hollows, including Spear Hollow and Tanyard Hollow, which channeled local life and travel along the creek bottoms.
