1951 Map of Spring Hill

About this map

Spring Hill and the surrounding Hempstead County countryside are detailed here during the early 1950s, revealing a landscape defined by small rural institutions and the shifting path of the Red River. A high density of country churches and family burial grounds, such as Fairview Ch and the Sullivan Cem, reflect the deep-rooted community structure of the era. To the south, the river's dynamic nature is evidenced by the 1916 Cut-off Lake and the 1940 Cut-off-Lake, which mark former channels now separated from the main flow.
