1964 Map of Hesterville

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

The Carroll Co Attala Co line divides this mid-century landscape where the Illinois Central railroad follows the western edge through the Big River bottoms. The interior terrain is defined by a dense network of family and community landmarks, centered on the settlement of Hesterville and the southern hamlet of Possumneck. Genealogical value is high throughout the quadrangle, with numerous rural burial grounds such as Smyrna Cem, Thornton Cem, and Sweet Pilgrim Ch Cem anchoring the various creek valleys. The drainage patterns of Sharkey Creek and Zilpha Creek dictate the placement of early infrastructure, including Carmack Sch and several country churches like North Union Ch. A local Claypit and a prominent Water Tank near the southern tracks highlight the small-scale industrial and utility footprint of the era.
