1947 Map of Portersville

USGS Topo · Published 1947

About this map

Big Wills Valley and Little Wills Valley dominate this postwar survey, where the Southern railroad corridor dictates the placement of the region's primary settlements. The town of Collinsville serves as a focal point in the southwest, while the smaller village of Portersville sits centrally at a gap in the surrounding ridges. This landscape is defined by the sharp parallel lines of Shinbone Ridge, Little Ridge, and Lookout Mountain, creating a confined geography of coves and hollows like Massey Cove and Campground Hollow. Local history is preserved in the numerous rural institutions scattered throughout these valleys, including Trinity Ch, Graham Chapel, and the Brown Fell Sch. Small-scale agricultural and milling operations are evident at Longshore Mill and Loveless, while семейный cemetery sites like Killian Cem and Plunket Cem provide essential data for genealogical research in this portion of DeKalb and Cherokee counties.
