About this map

Dairy and stock farming define the character of this Richland County landscape, where the Pine River and its numerous tributaries have carved a complex network of valleys and ridges. The settlement at Hub City serves as a northern anchor, while Rockbridge and Buck Creek mark the southern stretches of the river valley. The map reveals an intensive agricultural economy through dozens of named family operations, such as Pleasant View Stock and Dairy Farm and the Riverside Stock Farm.

Genealogists can find significant local-history value in the placement of the Soules Creek Cemetery, Rockbridge Cemetery, and Pleasant Ridge Cemetery. The terrain is characterized by distinctive local names like Steamboat Hollow and Bunker Hill, alongside numerous water management features including the Jordahl G-7843 Dam and Mott G7082 Dam, which regulate the streams feeding into the larger drainage systems of Hawkins Creek and Little Willow Creek.
