1935 Map of Binfield

About this map

The Louisville and Nashville Railroad cuts a diagonal path through this 1930s landscape, serving as the primary corridor for the communities of Binfield and Clover Hill. This area of Blount County is defined by its numerous rural congregations and educational hubs, such as Salem Ch, Laurel Bank Ch, and Rush Strong Sch. The Little Tennessee River flows along the southern edge, spanned by Henry Bridge and Reagan Bridge, reflecting the local infrastructure before modern developments changed the river's course. Local industry and social life are anchored at Brick Mill and the Carpenter Camp Ground. Topographically, the land transitions from the flats near Baker Creek to the rise of Hutton Ridge, with small family-named landmarks like Christie Hill and Hamil Cem providing valuable points of reference for genealogists.
