About this map

Mining operations and rural community centers define the landscape of Livingston County during this mid-century survey. The settlement of Lola serves as a central hub, surrounded by a network of family-named extraction sites such as Ben Bell Mines and Wright Mines. This pattern of small-scale industry is interspersed with local institutions that anchored the farming population, including Old Salem Ch and Bethel Ch.

The terrain is deeply etched by a complex drainage system featuring Deer Creek, Flatlick Creek, and Bayou Creek. Local education is well-represented through scattered schoolhouses like Blooming Rose Sch and Oak Grove Sch, which illustrate the decentralized nature of the county's social geography before the consolidation of the late 20th century. Near the southern edge, the small settlement of Threlkeld and the Threlkeld Sch mark the interface between the wooded hills and the larger creek bottoms.
