1959 Map of Adair

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

The South Fork Forked Deer River cuts a wide swath of bottomland through this West Tennessee landscape, separating the rural communities of Adair and Mason Grove from the growing outskirts of Jackson. Mapping in the late 1950s with late 1970s updates shows a transition from traditional cotton-country settlements to modern infrastructure. Numerous family-named cemeteries such as Hicks Cem, De Loach Cem, and McLemore Cem reflect long-standing ties to the land, while the Illinois Central Gulf Railroad corridor and Old Highway 70 represent the primary transportation arteries of the era. Smaller rural nodes like Windy City and Poplar Corner remain centered around community landmarks like Poplar Corner Ch, providing a detailed view of the county's social geography before late-twentieth-century suburban expansion reached the Jackson Corp Bdry.
