About this map

Lake Adger dominates the northern landscape of this Polk County region, where the Green River flows toward the foothills. The map documents the infrastructure of the early 1980s, including a powerplant and substation situated along the river's edge, reflecting the utility development of the era. Settlement patterns are concentrated around Mill Spring and the county seat of Columbus at the southern edge, connected by a network of rural roads and several routes marked as under construction.

Genealogists will find numerous rural landmarks, such as Big Level Ch, Silver Creek Ch, and Faith Temple Cem. The topography is defined by the significant rise of White Oak Mtn and Tryon Peak, the latter featuring a radio tower and lookout. This survey captures a mix of established agrarian life and modern institutional growth, evidenced by the presence of the Polk Central Sch and local industry like the quarry near White Oak Creek.
