1957 Map of Geneva West

About this map

The Pea River and the Louisville and Nashville railroad define the geography of this Geneva County landscape as it appeared in the late 1950s, with later updates tracking the town's expansion. The settlement of Geneva is protected by a substantial Levee, with its grid including Trinity Ave and Ferris St clustered near the County Hospital. Outside the main town, the area is dotted with rural community centers like Vaughanville and Marl, often anchored by local congregations such as Laddon Ch and New Prospect Ch. Transportation infrastructure is prominent, from the Municipal Airport and a nearby Landing Field to the railroad siding at Lytle. The map also captures mid-century social fixtures like the Drive-in Theater near the eastern edge, while numerous small watercourses like Double Bridges Creek and Little Sandy Creek carve through the terrain.
