About this map

The Kentucky Tennessee state line divides this 1951 topographic study, where the Red River and South Fork Red River carve a meandering path through the limestone-heavy landscape. The settlement of Adairville serves as the primary hub, showing a concentrated grid of streets, while surrounding rural communities like Oakville and Lamont are defined by isolated farmsteads and a dense network of country churches and family cemeteries.

Genealogists can trace local legacies through numerous burial sites including the Red River Cem and Greenwood Cem, alongside the small houses of worship that anchored these agricultural neighborhoods, such as Millwood Ch and Townsend Grove Ch. The presence of Mortimer Sta and schools like Townsend Sch illustrates the era's rural infrastructure before significant consolidation, while the path of Little Whippoorwill Creek highlights the drainage patterns that shaped the region's tobacco-growing heritage.
