1971 Map of Munford

About this map

Munford and Atoka serve as the primary anchors of this 1971 study, situated along the diagonal path of the Illinois Central Gulf railroad. The landscape is defined by the rural transition between the Tipton and Shelby County line, where small crossroads like Tipton, Barretville, and Kerrville appear alongside family-named landmarks and country congregations. The topography is deeply incised by drainages such as Cane Creek and Bull Creek, creating a network of ridges and hollows that historically dictated the placement of early schools and cemeteries.
