USGS Topo · Published 1953About this map
The Middle River and Clanton Creek carve through the agricultural heart of the Madison and Warren county border, defining a landscape of small towns and rural institutions in the early 1950s. The town of St Charles serves as a local hub, anchored by its proximity to Jones Creek and a dense network of country roads. Local infrastructure from this era is highlighted by historic crossings such as Imes Bridge and Hollowell Bridge, which were vital for connecting isolated farmsteads to centers like Patterson and Hanley.
