1964 Map of Lake Como

About this map

Tallahoma Creek and its various tributaries, including Piney Branch and Nuakfuppa Creek, carve a rolling landscape of timber and small-scale agriculture in rural Jasper County. The settlement of Lake Como serves as a central hub, surrounded by a dense network of country churches and burial grounds that define the local genealogy of the era. Landmarks such as Bethlehem Ch, Beat Line Ch, and St John Ch are scattered across the terrain, often accompanied by family and community cemeteries like Enon Cem and Mt Pleasant Cem. The presence of several Claypit sites and the Holder Lookout Tower suggest a landscape balancing natural resource extraction with forest management. A prominent Pipeline cuts across the quadrangle, signaling the modern industrial infrastructure overlaying these established rural communities during the mid-twentieth century.
