1953 Map of Satsuma

About this map

Livingston and Walker flank the southern edge of this Livingston Parish landscape, connected by the tracks of the Illinois Central railroad. The mid-century geography is defined by a dense network of waterways, including Middle Colyell Creek and Hornsby Creek, which drain the low-lying terrain. Local life in the 1950s centered around small rural institutions such as Friendship Ch, Judson Ch, and Mangum Chapel. The northern portion of the map reveals a more industrial or timber-focused history with an Old Railroad Grade winding through the woods near Little Beaver Dam Creek. Genealogists will find significant value in the identified burial grounds like Stafford Cem and Vickers Cem, alongside landmarks such as the Fairground and a Lookout Tower positioned near the eastern boundary.
