1955 Map of Elizabethtown

Genealogists will find a wealth of local landmarks, from the Benson Cem and McGill Cem to numerous rural congregations such as Saints Rest Ch and Richardson Chapel. The map reveals a distinct geographic pattern of elliptical depressions known as bays, including Salters Lake and Jones Lake, which are interspersed among timbered tracts like the Bladen Lakes State Forest and agricultural clearings. The presence of Prison No 601 and Washington High Sch further illustrates the social and civic layout of the county during this era.
