About this map

Lake Adger and the Green River form the geographical heart of this Polk County landscape during the early 1980s. The reservoir, with its distinct Jackson Cove and the nearby Powerplant, supports local infrastructure alongside the growing communities of Mill Spring and Columbus. The map reveals a transition from traditional valley agriculture to more modern development, evidenced by the large Polk Central Sch and an extensive road network featuring sections marked as Under Construction.

Cultural and spiritual hubs are scattered throughout the hills, including Big Level Ch in the north and Stony Knoll Ch near the village of South. Prominent elevations such as White Oak Mtn and Tryon Peak, the latter featuring a Lookout Tower, provide a backdrop to smaller hamlets like Sunny View and Stearns. The terrain is deeply carved by watercourses like Silver Creek and White Oak Creek, which have historically dictated the placement of rural homes and farmsteads.
