1964 Map of Holbrook

About this map

The rugged valleys of Greene County are defined by a network of runs and creeks, where small settlements like Holbrook and Pine Bank anchor rural life. This 1960s landscape, later updated in the 1970s, shows a countryside transitioning through the mid-century, with traditional landmarks like a Covered Bridge on Hargus Creek appearing alongside the development of State Game Lands No 179. The map reveals a deeply rooted community, marked by family-named burial sites such as Fordyce Cem and Phillips New Cem, and spiritual centers like Macedonia Ch and Valley Chapel Ch. Education in the area is represented by both the Willow Grove Sch and the more centralized West Greene High Sch. Topographical detail highlights the numerous gas wells scattered across the hills, reflecting the region's long-standing connection to resource extraction amidst the complex drainages of Pursley Creek and McCourtney Run.
