1954 Map of Burrville

About this map

The Clear Fork river carves a winding path through the borderlands of Fentress Co and Morgan Co, defining a landscape of high ridges and deep drainage basins. While much of the terrain is dominated by features like Iron Mountain and Galloway Knob, the human presence is recorded in a network of small upland communities such as Burrville, Allardt, and Armathwaite. The settlement pattern reflects a mid-century rural Tennessee life centered on small country churches and local education, evidenced by the presence of Pleasant View Ch, Center Belle Ch, and Gatewood Sch.
