1963 Map of Townsend

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

Sucarnoochee Creek and its many tributaries, including Hamilton Branch and Snoody Creek, dominate this Kemper County landscape. The settlement of Townsend sits in the southern portion of the map, connected to the surrounding countryside by a network of unimproved roads and an Old Railroad Grade that cuts diagonally across the center of the sheet. This terrain is marked by significant local history sites for genealogists, including Antioch Ch and Stonewall Ch, as well as Felton Cem and Cherry Cem. The water system is particularly dense here, featuring Big Scooba Creek, Hoppers Lake, and Wahalak Creek in the north. The presence of the former rail line alongside these smaller family-named landmarks suggests an era of transition from rural rail-based commerce to modern land use.
