1957 Map of Notus

Water management is the defining human imprint here, visible in the extensive engineering of the Dixie Riverside Canal, Dotson Canal, and Renshaw Canal. This reliance on controlled water flow allowed for the establishment of family-named landmarks and rural settlements such as Allendale and Weitz. The map captures a high density of country schools, such as Red Top Sch and Center Point School, which once stood as anchors for the scattered farming community before the consolidation of the modern era.
