1962 Map of Letona

About this map

Big Creek meanders across the northern reaches of this White County landscape, defining the rural character of the area in the early 1960s. The settlement of Letona sits at a crossroads near the creek, while the presence of the Morris Institute and several country churches like Foster Chapel and Smyrna Ch speak to the established community structure of the time. The terrain is marked by significant elevations such as Mount Pisgah and the prominent Backbone Ridge to the south.
