1972 Map of Ripley South

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

The southern outskirts of Ripley and the town of Henning anchor this mid-century portrait of Lauderdale County. The Illinois Central Gulf railroad serves as a primary north-south spine, connecting these communities and the smaller settlement at Opossum. Along the southern boundary, the Hatchie River meanders across the border into Tipton County, near the community of Rialto and the Garden of Everlasting Life. The landscape is dotted with rural landmarks essential for genealogical research, including the Bethlehem Cem, Poplar Grove Cem, and Hamlett Temple Cem. Institutional life is well-documented through several schools and churches like Salem Ch and St Mark Ch, while the industrial character of the era is reflected in scattered Gravel Pits and the Sewage Disposal Pond near Henning.
