1950 Map of Grant
USGS Topo · Published 1950About this map
Paint Rock River winds through this 1940s landscape, serving as a boundary between Jackson, Madison, and Marshall counties. The era is defined by a network of river crossings and mountain-side communities, where essential fords like Helium Ford and Maple Ford provided vital transit before modern bridging. The agrarian character of the region is evident in the numerous family-named landmarks and institutions, such as Butler Mill and the D A R Sch at Grant. Steep topographic features like Keel Mountain and Gunters Mountain hem in the valley settlements, creating distinct pockets of development. Genealogists will find a wealth of specific data points, from the Kennamer Cem and Ashburn Cem to small congregations at Hill Chapel and Center Ch. The presence of oxbow features like Big Horseshoe Pond and Little Horseshoe Pond illustrates the shifting nature of the river's path over time.
