My friends - As we ease back into the regular routine after the long holiday weekend, I have a question for those of you who do research in Calloway County. In looking over some items which I have in storage, I came upon a geological map of Calloway County that was issued in the early part of the 20th century, and which contains the names and locations of numerous places and institutions which are now either under water due to the KY Lake Project, or may not be in existence any longer. The villages of Calloway Town(which disappeared by 1870)and Newberg(which existed into the early 20th century)are shown, along with such other places as Shannon and Pine Bluff, which also disappeared. I know that many of our subscribers have an interest in the locations of the old schools - many of them one-room affairs - which existed well into the 20th century, but have been gone for many years. This map shows many schools, such as Woodlawn, Mallory, East and West Shannon, McCuiston, Shady Hill, Steelyville, Gunter Flats, Green Plains, Howard, Utterback, Chunn, Salem, Rosin Ridge, Watson, Corinth, Landon, Harding, Blakely, Heath, Oak Grove, Thompson and Smith schools, and others. There are other landmarks, such as Gibb's Store, Wiswell, Protemus and Hico shown. The current State Highway 94 was known as the Jefferson Davis Highway when this map was printed. My question is whether enough of our subscribers have an interest in having a copy of this map to make it a worthwhile undertaking to have copies made of it. The map measures about 2-1/2 feet by about 2 feet, and, as a result, it will have to be printed on a duplicating plotter machine. This process is not inexpensive, and the cost per copy for list subscribers, with first class postage and the mailing tube, will, I suspect, run to about $12.00. I would be grateful if those of you who have an interest in obtaining a copy of this map would send a note directly to me - off-list - and indicate that you are interested. If 25 or more of our subscribers indicate an interest, I will proceed with getting the copy process started. Tomorrow, we will move to Marshall County. -B =====================================================================
