About this map

Chuquatonchee Creek and Houlka Creek meander across this landscape in the late 1950s, defining a region where rural life centered on small crossroads and family names. The settlement of Van Vleet sits near the headwaters of Dicks Creek, while the town of Houston anchors the western edge, showing civic infrastructure like a Sewage Disposal and a Drive-in Theater. The map reveals a dense network of local genealogy, from the Jolly Cem and Reid Cem to numerous country churches like Bethlehem Ch and Providence Ch.
