1955 Map of South Boston

About this map

Clark State Forest dominates the eastern and central ridges of this mid-century landscape, framing a network of rural settlements and agricultural valleys. In the mid-1950s, the area around South Boston and New Salem was defined by small, community-centered landmarks like Franklin Sch and Polk Sch, which served as local anchors alongside numerous country churches. The rugged topography is etched by the Middle Fork Blue River and South Fork Blue River, with prominent elevations such as Bowers Knob and Williams Knob rising above the timberline.
