1954 Map of McHenry

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

De Soto National Forest dominates this mid-century landscape of the Mississippi Gulf Coast hinterlands, revealing a network of timberlands and small rail-oriented communities. The Illinois Central railroad serves as the primary spine of the region, connecting towns like McHenry, Saucier, and Howison. This survey provides a critical view of local genealogy through its numerous family and community burial grounds, including the Yellow Fever Cem and Oak Lawn Cem. The presence of the Experimental Forest Hdqrs and the Airey Lookout Tower highlights the era's focus on forest management and conservation. Smaller settlements such as Airey and Success appear alongside social centers like Advance Sch and Midway Ch, illustrating a rural landscape defined by decentralized schools and churches before the consolidation of the late 20th century.
