2010 Map of Hurstown

About this map

Hurstown and the surrounding Shelby County countryside are defined by a complex network of waterways and early burial grounds. The landscape is drained by southward-flowing streams including Bell Creek, Town Creek, and Lick Creek, which eventually feed into the broader Patroon Bayou at the southern edge of the survey. Small rural clusters like East Liberty and McClelland serve as local anchors, while the terrain is notable for Big Hill rising above the bottomlands. Genealogists will find this particular record invaluable due to the dense concentration of family and community burial sites, such as Biggers Cemetery, McWilliams Cemetery, and Rather Cemetery. The map also captures the transition from established farm-to-market roads to the intricate network of United States Forest Service routes, such as F S Road 100, reflecting the region's managed timber and agricultural character.
