My friends - After the offering of the Calloway County 1929 map, I have had quite a number of inquiries about the availability of other county maps in that same series. As I continue to work my way through the multitude of items which I have in storage, I am looking for other maps of the JP region in this, or other, map series. I have now located a map of Marshall County, and one of McCracken County, in this same series. I know that we have interest in these maps, because of the number of inquiries I have received. But, as I always try to do, I want to inquire about our subscribers interest in each of these maps before I take steps to have them reproduced. The Marshall County map measures about 2 feet by 2 feet. Like the Calloway map, it presents a sort of "last glimpse" of the County prior to the TVA's dam project, which flooded a portion of the eastern side of the county. Some of the not so well known towns seen on this map include Dogtown, Jonestown, Hiatt, Birmingham, Tatumsville, Scale, Iola, Sharp, Glade, and Little Cypress. The schools which are shown include Van Zora, Joppa, Johnston, Liberty, Jackson, Darnell, New Constitution, Enterprise, Minter, McCain, Collie, Howard, Pinnacle, Pugh, Bald Knob, Beechwood, Stahl, Lone Valley, and many more, as well as perhaps two dozen churches. The larger creeks and rivers are identified. The McCracken map is approximately 2 feet by 3 feet. Some of the lesser known towns which appear on this map include Krebbs Station, Epperson, Reidlawn, Camelia, Temple Mill, Futrell Switch, Grahamville, Massack Switch, Rossington, and Cecil. Lovelaceville, though in Ballard County, is also shown, as is Metropolis, IL, across the Ohio River. Some of the schools shown include Kettler, St. Johns, Staub, Rosebower, Hovecamp, Shinbridge, Sunnyslope, Massack, Ridge, Camelia, Lamont, Simms, Burnley, Lee, High Point, and others. The Blizzard Bottoms Dredge Ditch is shown, as well as Owens Island, Cuba Towhead and other landmarks, and, as with the Marshall map, may churches are shown. Please let me know, by private e-mail(off list) if you have an interest in either or both of these maps. The cost remains steady as $12.00 for each map requested individually, which includes the First Class postage and mailing tube. However, for those who would like both maps, or who have waited to get the Calloway map until the Marshall and/or McCracken maps became available, I can send all of the maps in one mailing tube. As a result, each map beyond the first one can be reduced to $9.00. Thus, 2 maps going to the same address would be $21, 3 maps would be $30, etc. If there is sufficient interest to warrant reproducing these maps, I will let everyone know and proceed with having that done. We will return to our Confederate pensioner series tomorrow. -B ====================================================================
