About this map

St. Matthews serves as the focal point of this Calhoun County landscape, centered on the Calhoun County Courthouse and the historic West End Cem. The surrounding terrain is defined by a dense network of water bodies and named ponds, such as Peter Buycks House Pond, Speigners Pond, and Bensons Pond, which suggest a long-standing reliance on local hydrology for agriculture and early industry.

The presence of Bates Mill Cr and numerous crossroads like Hammond Crossroads and Wertz Crossroads illustrates the intersection of small-scale milling and established transport routes like Old State Rd. This topographic survey captures the transition from the town's dense residential grid to the sprawling agricultural and swampy bottomlands of Saddler Swamp and Dicks Swamp, providing a clear view of the area's modern rural character.
