About this map

Hartsville and the surrounding townships of Clay and Clifty center this mid-century survey, revealing a landscape defined by its stream valleys and rural institutional markers. The winding path of Clifty Creek carves through the topography, flanked by several family and community burial grounds including Nauvoo Cem and Swinney Cem. Further north, Burney sits along the Old Railroad Grade, a reminder of the rail infrastructure that once linked these farming communities.

Genealogists will find particular value in the high density of labeled cemeteries and small churches, such as Pleasant Grove Ch and the Hartsville College Cem. The map documents the physical remains of Hartsville's academic past and the transition of the local economy as seen in the development of Middle Fork Lake. This 1950s record, later updated with 1980s woodland revisions, captures the enduring grid of county roads and the steady influence of Haw Creek on the region's layout.
