1947 Map of Bedford

About this map

The Duck River winds through the northeast corner of this mid-century landscape, passing the crossing at Temple Ford. This era in the central Tennessee countryside shows a dense network of family-named landmarks and rural institutions that anchored the community. Scattered across the rolling drainage of Sinking Creek and Powell Creek are numerous small church-and-cemetery clusters, such as New Bethel Ch and Richmond Ch, which served the local farming population.
