About this map

Russellville serves as the focal point of this Logan County landscape, situated at the junction of the Jeff Davis Highway and the Seaboard rail line. The surrounding countryside reveals a dense network of rural community life, marked by numerous country churches such as Walnut Grove Ch, Stevenson Chapel, and Red Oak Ch. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Whippoorwill Creek and its tributaries, including Dry Fork and Barren Fork.

Southwest of the city, the settlement of Ferguson and landmarks like Cave Spring illustrate the historic distribution of local hamlets. Significant elevation is found at Luckett Knob, while the outskirts of the county seat show mid-century developments like the Drive-in Theater and a Golf Course. This 1952 topographic survey, with revisions noted through the early 1980s, provides an exact record of Logan County's transition from a rail-dependent agricultural hub to a modernized road corridor.
