About this map

Pennington Creek winds through this Johnston County landscape, serving as a focal point for the local geography and the operations of the Tishomingo National Fish Hatchery. The settlement of Reagan sits at a crossroads in the northwest, near the Pennington Ch and Greenwood Cem. The map illustrates a transitional rural economy, where the land is carved by numerous Gravel Pits and marked by a defunct Railroad Grade that once connected these hills to wider markets.

Genealogists will find significant detail in the placement of family-named landmarks and multiple burial sites, including the Bullet Prairie Cem and Duncan Cem. To the south, the terrain becomes more distinct at Slippery Falls and the curiously named Devils Den. The presence of the Boy Scout Camp and various springs like Three Springs and Wolf Spring suggest a landscape valued for its natural resources and recreational utility during the late 1960s.
