About this map

The Wolf River and its meandering tributaries, including Shaws Creek and Hurricane Creek, define the landscape of this Fayette County region. The community of Rossville serves as a central hub, situated where the Southern railroad line meets the river valley. Further west, Piperton sits along the rail corridor, while small, dispersed settlements like Elba and Kirk appear in the northern reaches of the quadrangle.

Genealogists and local historians will find a wealth of family-named sites scattered across the rolling terrain. Numerous country churches and burial grounds, such as Philadelphia Ch, Hebrew Cem, and Hunter Cem, point to the established rural social structure of the mid-20th century. Educational landmarks like Hodges Sch and St Luke Sch are documented alongside industrial additions such as a Pipeline and a Gaging Station, illustrating the region's balance of traditional agricultural life and emerging infrastructure.
