1973 Map of Perry

About this map

Perry and its surrounding countryside in the early 1970s are defined by the winding course of the Salt River and its numerous tributaries. This period marks a major landscape transition, with the Clarence Cannon Reservoir shown at an elevation of 606 feet, including blue hatching indicating areas subject to controlled inundation. The map provides significant genealogical value, documenting numerous rural burial sites such as Scobee Cem, Muldrow Cem, and the Old Mt Prairie Cem near Mt Prairie Ch. Evidence of earlier transport and utility networks remains visible through an Old Railroad Grade and the Gough Landing Strip. Smaller rural hubs like Greenlawn and Gallaher punctuate the landscape, while the local infrastructure includes a Sewage Disposal Pond and City Lakes near the town center.
