1964 Map of Mc Donough

About this map

McDonough serves as the focal point of this mid-century survey, situated at the intersection of several significant local arteries like Payetteville Road and Mt Carmel Road. The landscape is a network of rural homesteads and agricultural tracts, marked by numerous family-named landmarks and cemeteries such as Westmoreland Cem and Akins Cem. Small communities like Flippen to the north and Blacksville to the south are linked by the Southern railroad, which cuts a diagonal path through the terrain. Evidence of community life is visible in features like the Shingle Roof Campground and the Fairgrounds near the town center. The eastern edge of the map is defined by the drainage of Tussahaw Creek and the Iris Lakes, illustrating the transition from the developed town square to the more creek-crossed rural landscape of Henry County.
