1954 Map of Sikes

Genealogists will find a wealth of community landmarks, from rural educational sites like Asbury Sch to numerous denominational centers such as Mount Pleasant Ch and Hebron Ch. The map documents a deeply established social fabric evidenced by family-named cemeteries, including Pippen Cem and McCarty Cem, scattered among the drainages of Bear Creek and Castor Creek. This record captures the transition between the small-scale farming of the early 20th century and the organized industrial forestry that would come to dominate the parish.
