1973 Map of Hampton

About this map

The county seat of Hampton serves as the central hub of this 1970s landscape, where the local economy and infrastructure are defined by a network of timberlands, pipelines, and numerous extraction sites. Numerous Gravel Pits are scattered across the terrain, particularly near the banks of Champagnolle Creek and Taylor Creek. This period shows the community established with civic landmarks like Ham Moses Park and several country churches that anchored rural life, including Union Ch and Campground Ch. To the southeast, the town of Harrell sits along the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad, illustrating the importance of rail transport for moving local resources. Genealogists will find several family and community landmarks, such as Macedonia Cem, Means Cem, and Earnest Cem, which provide specific points of reference for the families settled between Hurricane Creek and Blann Creek.
