1948 Map of Hatton

About this map

Hatton and the surrounding Moulton Valley are documented here in a 1948 topographic study, with revisions extending into the early 1970s. The landscape is a mix of agricultural bottoms and the prominent rise of Black Ground Mountain and Mill Mtn to the north. For genealogists, the map is remarkably dense with family-named landmarks and cemeteries, including the Fergason Cem, Masterson Cem, and Roden Cem. Small community centers like Wolf Springs and Beavers Cross appear alongside established congregations at Providence Church and Okalona Church. The intricate drainage system of Town Creek and its many tributaries, such as Masterson Creek and Wolf Creek, define the rural geography. Modern infrastructure is represented by the Airway beacon near Oak Grove, while the local social fabric is evidenced by the Athletic field in Hatton.
