1973 Map of Jonathan

About this map

Big Creek and its many tributaries, including Mason Branch and Long Branch, define the rural landscape of Greene County in the early 1970s. This survey of the Jonathan quadrangle illustrates a scattered settlement pattern typical of the piney woods region, with small communities such as Kittrell, Byrd, and Bradley serving as local hubs. The presence of the Green Lookout Tower on a prominent ridge reflects the importance of timber management and fire watch in this densely wooded area. Genealogists and local historians can locate several landmark institutions, including Corinth Ch and the Church of Jesus Christ, alongside the Hillman Cem. The terrain is also marked by industrial activity and infrastructure, such as various Sandpit sites and a major pipeline corridor that cuts through the southern reaches of the map near Big Oktibee Cr.
