1936 Map of Blackburn

About this map

Little Cypress Creek and Middle Cypress Creek carve through the agricultural landscape of Lauderdale County in this 1936 field examination. The area is defined by a dense network of rural infrastructure, including numerous small schoolhouses like Wilson Sch and Stripling Sch and local religious centers such as Parsonage Chapel and Mt Tabor Ch. The Tennessee Valley Authority's involvement is evident in the transition line running near St Florian, reflecting the era's electrification efforts. Transportation is anchored by the Nashville and Louisville road and the Chisholm Road, while Big Cut Station near Hines points to the area's rail connections. Small settlements like Blackburn and Jacksonburg serve as hubs for the surrounding farmsteads, with family history preserved at the Cedar Grove Cem and Parsonage Cem.
