1946 Map of Flat Rock

About this map

Sand Mountain dominates the landscape of this plateau region, where numerous gulfs and points like Griffin Gulf and O'Neal Point overlook the drainages of Long Creek. The area’s 1940s character is defined by rural settlements like Flat Rock and Cameronsville, connected by historic routes including Caperton Ferry Road. This survey captures the intersection of industrial activity and local heritage, with several strip mines visible across the terrain alongside numerous family and community landmarks. Genealogists will find a dense concentration of local burial grounds and places of worship, including Maxwell Cem, Newby Cem, and Beulah Chapel, providing a clear record of the families established along the Jackson and De Kalb county line.
