1940 Map of Benton
USGS Topo · Published 1940About this map
Hiwassee River and Ocoee River define this 1940 landscape, converging amidst a dense network of early Polk County settlements and family landmarks. The area is dominated by the broad Boyd Bottoms and the rising slopes of Sand Mountain, with the Nashville and Louisville Railroad providing a vital transit corridor through Benton Station. The seat at Benton serves as the central hub, surrounded by a high density of rural institutions like Chestuee Mills and Old Wilson Mill, which speak to the agrarian and water-powered economy of the era.
