1951 Map of Spring Hill

About this map

Spring Hill serves as a central hub for this early 1950s topographic study, surrounded by a dense network of rural churches and family burial grounds including Sullivan Cem and Bethany Cem. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Bois d'Arc Creek and the dynamic hydrology of the Red River valley, evidenced by the 1940 Cut-off Lake and the 1918 Cut-off Lake near the border of Miller and Hempstead Counties. To the north, the Missouri Pacific railroad corridor cuts across the terrain, while the interior is marked by the site of a Battlefield and several rural educational landmarks. These include the Williams Chapel Sch and the Stevenson Sch (Abandoned), offering a specific look at the transition of local school systems during the mid-century period.
