1973 Map of Sumner

About this map

The Seaboard Coast Line railroad anchors the southern edge of this landscape, passing through the town of Sumner, which serves as a local hub for this part of Worth County. In the early 1970s, the surrounding countryside was characterized by a dense network of rural spiritual centers and small community landmarks, reflecting a well-established social fabric. Named congregations such as New Mt Pleasant Ch, Millers Chapel, and Clements Chapel are scattered throughout the quadrangle, often situated near watercourses like Ty Ty Creek or Daniels Creek. To the northwest, the settlement of Terrell sits near the Turner County line, while the presence of the Old Sumner Cem and the Parker Sch offer important touchstones for those researching family history in the region. The terrain is defined by the slow drainage of the Little River and its numerous tributaries, including the distinctively named Lime Sink Creek.
