About this map

Hattieville serves as a central hub in this early 1960s landscape, where the agricultural plains of the Gregory and Welborn townships meet the rising elevations of Pigeon Roost Mountain. The geography is defined by the winding course of West Fork Point Remove Creek, which creates a complex network of wetlands and seasonal water bodies like Grinnel Pond and Goose Pond. Small rural communities and church-centered settlements like Old Hickory, Robertsville, and Macedonia are connected by a series of crossings including Hackers Bridge and Prim Bridge.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local history in the numerous family-named landmarks and small burial grounds scattered across the terrain, such as Wiedower Cem, Beeson Cem, and Childers Cem. The presence of several Gas Well sites and a Gravel Pit indicates the local extraction economy of the era, while the rugged profile of Bunker Mountain and Devils Knob contrasts with the fertile bottomlands of Happy Bend.
