1948 Map of Bodenham

About this map

New Prospect and Bodenham anchor this mid-century look at the rural landscape along the Lawrence and Giles County line. The map illustrates a community defined by its watercourses and small rural gathering places, with several distinct hollows such as Johnson Hollow and Randolph Hollow cutting through the terrain. A network of country churches, including Choate Creek Church, Good Hope Church, and St Pauls Church, reflects the social fabric of the era, often located near family-named landmarks like Hughes Cem or Smith Cem.
