1964 Map of Gipsy

About this map

Gipsy and the surrounding woodlands of the Castor River State Forest define this 1964 survey, which reveals a landscape shaped by narrow hollows and the winding course of the Castor River. Small-scale farming and rural community life are evident in the scatter of landmark structures across the Wayne and Bollinger County line, including the Lower Turkey Creek Sch and multiple houses of worship like Cowan Ch and Pleasant Valley Ch. The mapping of features like Lime Kiln Hollow and Factory Pond provides specific clues to the local economy and land use of the mid-20th century. This edition includes purple revision overlays from 1982, showing updates to the road network and structures without changing the underlying topographic detail of the original field-checked survey. Family historians will find value in the precisely marked Maddox Cem, Scott Cem, and Clubb Cem.
