1957 Map of Pleasant Grove

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

Colbert Wildlife Refuge dominates the northern landscape of this mid-century survey, where the rugged terrain is defined by a dense network of creeks and branches flowing toward Cedar Creek. Small rural communities and isolated family homesteads characterize the area, with Pleasant Grove and Kimmons serving as local focal points. The map reveals a reliance on traditional water crossings and community institutions, as evidenced by Slickrock Ford, Burgess Bridge, and several country churches like Cedar Creek Church and Dunkin Center Ch. Genealogists will find significant value in the numerous family-named landmarks and cemeteries, such as Bolton Cem and Massey Cem, which pinpoint the locations of early area residents. The heavy concentration of springs like Smelser Spring and named hollows such as Dudley Hollow highlights the importance of the natural hydrology to the local settlement pattern during this era.
