1970 Map of Murfreesboro NE

About this map

Kirby Mountain and Wall Mountain dominate the skyline of this part of northern Pike County, where the drainage network of the Antoine River carves through the terrain. The landscape is marked by a series of narrow gaps and ridges, such as Lassie Gap and Motley Gap, which influenced the placement of early routes like the Old Hot Spring Road. Settled pockets are evidenced by numerous small family and community burial grounds, including Macedonia Cem, Wall Creek Cem, and Woodall Cem. Resource extraction is noted by a Shale Pit and a scattered Mine, while the infrastructure of the late 1960s is represented by the Pipeline Road and a series of rugged trails like Rattler Trail and Worthy Switch Trail.
