1950 Map of Lumpkin SW

About this map

Providence Canyons dominates this Stewart County landscape, where the deeply eroded gullies of the Red Hills were already a well-established landmark by the mid-20th century. The rural social structure of the era is clearly visible through a dense network of country schools and churches that served scattered farming families. Settlements like Beatrice and institutions such as Oak Grove Sch and Stephen Chapel provide critical points of reference for genealogists. The map also records family-named landmarks like the James Templeton Cem and Elam Cem, which offer significant value for those tracing local family roots. A intricate network of watercourses, including Turner Creek and Tali pahoga Creek, drains the dissected terrain, illustrating the natural boundaries that shaped the region's early road and land patterns.
