1941 Map of Binfield

About this map

Brick Mill and the surrounding agricultural valleys of Blount County appear in detail shortly before the mid-century, characterized by a dense network of country churches and small schools. The Louisville and Nashville railroad cuts diagonally across the landscape, connecting settlements like Alnwick and Binfield while skirting the rising terrain of Spradling Ridge and Curtis Ridge. This 1941 survey, with field examination by the Tennessee Valley Authority, captures a snapshot of rural infrastructure including the CCC Camp No. 47 and the County Farm.
