1953 Map of Kossuth

About this map

Delaney Creek and its many tributaries, including Delaney Branch and Spurgeon Hollow, carve through the complex ridge system of northern Washington County during the early 1950s. The landscape is defined by its deep hollows and prominent summits like Tater Knob and Johnson Knob, with small rural communities clustered along the lower elevations. The settlement of Winslow serves as a local hub, surrounded by family-named landmarks such as Winslow Cem and Winslow Hollow. Local education and faith are represented by a network of one-room facilities and country meeting houses, including Pleasant View Sch, Blue River Sch, and West Point Ch. Genealogists can find evidence of early families through scattered burial sites like Collett Cem and Nicholson Cem, while the winding course of the West Fork Blue River anchors the southern portion of the survey near Canton.
