1971 Map of Pinehurst

About this map

Agricultural Dooly County is defined here by its network of rural congregations and family cemeteries situated along the tributaries of the Flint River system. The landscape transition is evident between the clustered settlement of Pinehurst along the Southern railway and the smaller hamlet of Lilly to the southwest. Land use is predominantly rural, with numerous unnamed field lines and a landing strip indicating the importance of aerial crop dusting to the local economy. Religious and community life centers on historic sites like Forest Chapel, Red Hill Ch, and Old Mt Zion Ch. The drainage patterns of Little Pennahatchee Creek and Sandy Mount Creek carve through the terrain, which is dotted with long-established burial grounds such as Evergreen Cem and Rock Spring Cem, providing essential landmarks for genealogists and local historians.
