About this map

Buck Creek and its many winding tributaries, including Fish Trap Creek and Brushy Creek, define the topography of this Pulaski County region. The landscape is marked by a high density of rural schoolhouses and family cemeteries, reflecting a deeply rooted community structure in the early 1950s. Small hamlets like Shopville and Stab serve as local hubs, while educational life is represented by numerous numbered and named institutions such as Burdine Sch No 1, Burdine Sch No 2, and Silver Star Sch.

Genealogists can find significant value in the various burial grounds scattered across the knobs, including Renfro Cem, Gilliland Cem, and Childress Cem. The eastern portion of the map transitions into the Cumberland National Forest, where the terrain steepens into ridges like Logan Ridge and Kincade Ridge. Notable landmarks such as Custer Bluff and Flat Lick Knob provide prominent natural orientation points throughout this dissected plateau.
