1948 Map of Paint Rock

About this map

The Paint Rock River carves a deep valley through the Jackson and Madison County line, serving as the central artery for this mid-century agricultural landscape. The Southern Railway and Lee Highway parallel the river, connecting the primary settlements of Paint Rock, Gurley, and Woodville. Notable for local history and genealogy, the map identifies numerous family cemeteries including Roberson Cem, Latham Cem, and Rousseau Cem, often tucked into the many coves like Bucks Pocket and Bingham Cove.
