About this map

Fairview and Clay anchor this mid-1960s landscape, where a dense network of country churches and family burial grounds reflects a deeply rooted rural community. The Fairview Lookout Tower stands as a prominent landmark overlooking the ridge-and-valley terrain drained by Cummings Creek and Little Briar Creek. The map reveals a high concentration of spiritual and memorial sites, including Mt Gilead Ch, New Temple Ch, and the Itawamba Memorial Gardens, which suggest the social focal points of the era.

Industrial activity is noted through scattered Gravel Pits in the southeast, while the winding course of Bull Mountain Creek dominates the lower quadrant. This survey records the region just before significant modern development, preserving the locations of rural school-houses and smaller cemeteries like the Benefield Cem and Weaver Cem that often serve as vital links for genealogists tracing local family history.
