1960 Map of Republic

Rural life is mapped in detail through a dense network of family-named landmarks and country churches. The winding James River and its tributaries, such as Terrell Creek and Schuyler Creek, define the drainage patterns. Genealogists can locate numerous burial grounds, including Wise Hill Cem, Gibson Cem, and Mount Carmel Cem, which are scattered among the townships of Lincoln and Porter. The presence of a Quarry and a Substation indicates the local industrial and utility infrastructure during this era of the late 1950s and early 1960s.
