1954 Map of Shady Grove

About this map

Piney Creek snakes through this landscape of the mid-1950s, defining a region of steep knobs and hollows on the border of Crittenden and Caldwell counties. Small agricultural settlements like Shady Grove and Tribune serve as local hubs, connected by a network of unimproved roads and light-duty tracks. The mapping reveals a high density of rural religious and funerary sites, such as Walnut Grove Ch and Olive Branch Cem, which are often located near prominent high points like Schoolhouse Knob or Pickens Hill.
