1950 Map of Wannville

About this map

The Guntersville Reservoir dominates this 1950 Jackson County landscape, its backwaters reaching deep into the valleys of Mud Creek and Big Coon Creek. This era reveals a transition from traditional upland agriculture to a lake-centered economy, evidenced by the Mud Creek Boat Dock sitting adjacent to old family-named landmarks. The map is a significant resource for genealogists, documenting numerous local burial grounds such as Pauper Cem, Longacre Cem, and Stogsdill Cem.
