1964 Map of Snow Creek

About this map

The rugged divide between Franklin and Henry Counties is defined by the prominent ridges of Fork Mountain and Turkeycock Mountain. In the mid-1960s, this rural landscape was centered around small crossroads communities and family-named landmarks. The settlement of Snow Creek is documented alongside several significant local institutions, including Snow Creek Church, Trinity Church, and Pleasant Grove Church. To the south, the village of Figsboro sits near the headwaters of Reed Creek, while the Martinsville Reservoir and its associated basins, Reservoir No. 2 and Reservoir No. 3, illustrate the region's mid-century water management.
