1952 Map of Honey Grove

About this map

Honey Grove and Britmart serve as central nodes in this rural 1952 landscape along the border of Christian and Todd counties. The map documents a traditional agricultural society defined by its local institutions, including Shiloh Sch, Laytonsville Sch, and Perry Sch. The terrain is shaped by the winding courses of the Pond River and Buck Creek, with higher elevations marked by landmarks such as Pine Knob and the prominent Pilot Rock. This survey provides a record of land ownership and community heritage through numerous family-named sites, including the O'Daniel Cem and Henderson Cem. The presence of the Martin Gem near Fearsville hints at the area's local mining history. Cultural life is further anchored by community churches like Ebenezer Ch and Pleasant Hill Ch, which are scattered among the ridges and hollows such as Turnpike Hollow.
