About this map

The Southern railroad line cuts through the western edge of this Crawford County landscape, connecting the small settlements of Knoxville, Roberta, Gaillard, and Allon. These communities appear during a period of transition, with residential growth and industrial features like a Substation and Athletic Field appearing alongside traditional rural landmarks. The terrain is defined by a dense network of waterways including Sweetwater Creek, Beaver Creek, and Mossy Creek, which carve through the land near prominent elevations like Culpepper Hill.

Genealogists and local researchers will find significant value in the distribution of country churches and burial grounds, such as Old Bethel Cem, Little Union Ch, and Gordon Chapel. The presence of Hortons Millpond and Lake Henry suggests a landscape shaped by both natural drainage and local water management. Extensive Jeep Trails wind through the wooded areas between Deep Creek and Lee Creek, illustrating the rural connectivity of the region in the mid-1970s.
