FEATURES SHOWN ON THE MAP
The Jackson North 7.5-minute map shows cities and towns, roads, paths, railroads, utilities and energy infrastructure, rivers, creeks, elevation contour lines, public land survey lines, county, state, and other administrative boundaries as they existed at the time of the survey in 1947 through 1950. A reddish tint is used on this sheet to indicate urban areas where only landmark buildings are depicted. Outside of those areas, all known structures (houses, businesses, churches, schools, barns, cabins, etc) are shown.
A VALUABLE HISTORICAL RECORD
This map is from the 7.5-minute series, the most detailed series that is widely available from the USGS. The 1950 Jackson North map is a valuable historical record for the area. It contains some placenames and features that have been dropped from more recent maps.
The map was photorevised in 1979. Any features that changed or were added between the original edition year of 1950 and the photorevision year of 1979 are overlayed in purple. The purple overlay provides an excellent view of the fast-growing and changing areas within the quad boundary.
