1960 Map of Huxford

About this map

Huxford serves as the central hub of this 1960 landscape, defined by its position along the St Louis-San Francisco Railroad and the presence of several community anchors like Huxford Ch. The area exhibits a blend of early industrial and agricultural development, characterized by the Old Grade Railroad and the expansive Atmore State Prison Farm in the south. This survey reveals a region managed for both natural resources and institutional use, featuring the Little River State Forest and the Edward Hauss State Forest Nursery. Waterways such as Chitterling Creek and Wet Weather Creek drain the undulating terrain, while localized landmarks like the Huxford Lookout Tower and a Gravel Pit indicate the local forestry and extraction activities. Genealogists will find value in the specific locations of Sardis Ch, Pleasant Grove Ch, and Miller Cem.
