1965 Map of Trafalgar

About this map

Trafalgar serves as the central hub of this Johnson County landscape, where the intersection of state routes meets the remnants of an Old RR Grade. The settlement pattern reflects a mid-20th-century rural economy, with small communities like Samaria, Anita, and Bud dispersed among a network of numbered section roads. The terrain is defined by the drainage of Stotts Creek and its various branches, including Prong Stotts Creek and South Fork Stotts Creek. Notable landmarks include the Radio Tower (WTTV-TV) and several local gathering places such as Christian Chapel and Beech Grove Ch. For genealogists, the map is a detailed record of local burial sites, preserving the locations of Shiloh Cem, Harris Cem, and Carmen Cem amidst the agricultural fields of Union and Hensley townships.
