2010 Map of Preston

About this map

Slate Creek and its many tributaries, including Salt Well Creek, carve through the landscape of this Montgomery County region near the turn of the decade. The map reveals a high density of family-named cemeteries and small rural settlements that speak to the deep-rooted local genealogy of the area. Locations such as Stepstone, Peeled Oak, and Chestnut Grove are connected by a network of winding roads like Tapp Rd and Hart Grove Rd. Evidence of early community infrastructure is preserved through the Preston Post Office and Hope Post Office, while the Antioch Church and its adjacent Antioch Church Cemetery serve as central landmarks for the southern portion of the quadrangle. The presence of the Greenbrier Creek Reservoir and the One Oak Airport indicate the modern utility of the land alongside traditional agricultural sites like Old Forge Farm.
