1946 Map of Grove Oak

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

Sand Mountain dominates this 1946 landscape, where the plateau's agricultural character is defined by a dense network of country churches like Piney Grove Ch, Prospect Ch, and New Harmony Ch. The terrain drops sharply into the deep gorges of Sauty Creek and its branches, which carve through the land at Bucks Pocket State Park. The rural community of Grove Oak serves as a central point for the surrounding highlands, while the southwestern edge of the map follows the winding course of Town Creek toward High Falls. The survey illustrates the stark contrast between the flat upland farming areas and the inaccessible ravines of the Little Sauty Creek and Middle Sauty Creek drainages. Numerous family-named points and coves, such as Godwin Point and Tucker Cove, reflect the long-standing settlement patterns of DeKalb and Marshall counties before late-century developments.
