About this map

The Skuna River basin in Calhoun County defines this landscape, where the river's meandering course is flanked by several small settlements including Skuna, Shepherd, and Partee. The map reveals a deeply rooted rural community evidenced by numerous burial grounds such as Zion Springs Cem, Clear Springs Cem, and Old Tabernacle Cem. These landmarks, often located near local watercourses like Burkes Cr and Persimmon Creek, serve as primary points of orientation for genealogical research and local history.

Transportation throughout the area relies on an extensive network of county roads, including CR-300 and CR-231, which link the various homesteads and crossroads. To the south, the settlement of Bounds sits near Lickup Cr and Savannah Cr, reflecting a settlement pattern tied closely to the tributary creeks that feed into the larger river valley. The map is a detailed record of land divisions and local place names as they existed in the mid-2010s.
