About this map

Adairville serves as the central hub of this 1951 survey, situated just north of the border where Kentucky Tennessee meet. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Red River and its tributary, the South Fork Red River, which carve through the terrain of Logan County and into Robertson County. Local transit and commerce are anchored by the presence of Mortimer Sta, while the rural surroundings are dotted with numerous community anchors such as Berea Ch, Townsend Sch, and Oak Grove Ch.

Genealogists will find significant value in the high density of family and community burial grounds, including Greenwood Cem, Trimble Cem, and the Ballance Cem. The map illustrates a mid-century agricultural region where small settlements like Oakville and New Hope are linked by a network of creeks, such as Little Whippoorwill Creek and Sinking Creek, reflecting the established settlement patterns of the early 1950s.
