1954 Map of Hammonville

About this map

The boundary line between LaRue Co and Hart Co bisects this mid-century landscape, centered on the rural crossroads of Hammonville. The community structure of the 1950s is highly visible, defined by a dense network of country churches and family-named cemeteries. Features like the Oak Hill Mission, Pleasant Valley Ch, and Mt Pisgah Ch anchor the local social fabric, while the Jackson Highway serves as the primary artery through the rolling terrain. The map records a transition in land use, showing scattered Oil Wells and a Quarry alongside established landmarks like Three Springs Knob and Veach Knob. For genealogists, the inclusion of small burial sites such as McCanless Cem and Hodge Cem provides critical spatial data for tracing early families in the region between Brooks and Tampa.
