1962 Map of Wheelock

About this map

Wheelock stands at the heart of this landscape, serving as a historic anchor for the surrounding community in Robertson County. This survey, based on 1960s fieldwork with late-1980s updates, reveals a deeply rooted rural settlement pattern defined by its churches and cemeteries. Family and community heritage is evident in the presence of Henry Prairie Ch, Morrows Chapel, and New Hope Ch, while the distribution of the Cavitt Cem, Arnett Cem, and Wheelock Cem suggests generations of local residency. The terrain is carved by a dense network of seasonal drainages, including Wolf Den Br, Hay Yard Branch, and Copperas Creek, which flow through the undulating lands near Red Hill. Notable industrial and infrastructure markers such as Gravel Pits, a cross-country pipeline, and a small Landing Strip illustrate the modern layering of utility onto this traditional prairie landscape.
