1948 Map of Paint Rock
USGS Topo · Published 1966About this map
The Paint Rock River winds through a landscape defined by deep coves and prominent peaks such as Kee Mountain and Bingham Mountain. In the late 1940s, the Southern RR and Lee Highway served as the primary transit corridors connecting the settlements of Paint Rock, Woodville, and Garth. This period shows a community deeply rooted in its local geography, with numerous family and community cemeteries like Rousseau Cem and Jones Cem scattered throughout the valleys. A notable point of local history is the Conyers-Rosenwald School, an important educational landmark. The map also identifies several military reservations, including the Lacy Reservation and Stevens Reservation, while river crossings such as Walker Mill Ford and Wells Ford reveal how residents navigated the waterway before extensive modern bridging.
