1947 Map of Mulberry

About this map

The Elk River winds across the southern reaches of this landscape, carving a deep horseshoe at Pitts Bend before flowing past the settlement of Kelso. Further north, the confluence of the West Fork and East Fork near Mulberry establishes the headwaters of Mulberry Creek. This area is defined by a dense network of family-named cemeteries and rural landmarks, such as Lockes Mill and the Loyd Chapel, which suggest a long-established community structure centered around the creek valleys and hollows like McNeece Hollow and Moorhead Hollow.
