1964 Map of Holly Springs SE

About this map

Holly Springs National Forest dominates this mid-1960s landscape, where dense woodland is intersected by the winding Coldwater River and its numerous tributaries. The rural community of Hudsonville sits in the northwest corner, served by the Illinois Central railroad. This area exhibits a typical mid-century Southern rural settlement pattern, defined by small country churches like Hopewell Ch and Harris Chapel and scattered family cemeteries such as Shawnee Cem. A network of Pipelines and a centrally located Lookout Tower reflect the management of natural resources and infrastructure during this period. The terrain is notably dissected by watercourses including Big Snow Creek and Chewalla Creek, with Snow Lake appearing as a distinct landmark near the eastern Forest Boundary.
