About this map

Mc Mahan and Tilmon anchor this rural landscape in eastern Caldwell County during the mid-1920s, a period when local life revolved around a dense network of country schools and churches. The drainage of Plum Creek and its various tributaries, including Sixmile Branch and Clear Fork Plum Creek, dictates the placement of settlements and farms. This sheet is particularly notable for its high density of educational and spiritual landmarks, such as the Lovely Plant School, Harmony Grove School, and Clark Chapel, which served the farming families of the era.
