About this map

The Red River meanders through the heart of this borderland survey, anchoring a landscape where small rural settlements and country crossroads define the social geography of the mid-century. Centered on Prices Mill and the scattered hamlets of Middleton, Neosheo, and Providence, the map reveals a community structured around its spiritual and educational landmarks. Local life is traced through several country churches, including White Hill Ch, Milliken Chapel, and Bethany Ch, alongside the Red River Sch.

Topographically, the area is characterized by the complex drainage systems of Sulphur Spring Creek and Summers Branch, leading into the dense Robey Swamp to the north. The survey meticulously records the political boundary between Kentucky and Tennessee, as well as the transition between Logan and Simpson Counties. This 1951 study captures the region before extensive modernization, preserving the locations of numerous family-named landmarks and small cemeteries that are essential for genealogical research in this bi-state corridor.
