1950 Map of Buena Vista

USGS Topo · Published 1953

About this map

The Tennessee Valley Divide cuts through this landscape, dictating the flow of numerous waterways toward the Big Sandy River Drainage Canal. In the mid-twentieth century, the Nashville Chattanooga and St Louis railroad served as a central transport corridor, passing through the settlements of Buena Vista and Westport. This era shows a community deeply tied to its local institutions, evidenced by the high density of small churches and schools such as Spanish Grove School and Oak Grove Church. Large portions of the eastern terrain are dedicated to the Natchez Trace State Park and Forest, where the landscape transitions into swampy lowlands like Goose Pond Swamp and Bradford Swamp. For genealogists, the map is a primary source for locating family burials at sites like Cawthon Cem, Spellings Cem, and Tucker Cem.
