1932 Map of Carthage

About this map

The Cumberland River carves a dramatic series of loops through North Central Tennessee, defining the life and landscape of Smith, Macon, and Jackson Counties in the early 1930s. The county seat of Carthage sits at the river's southern bend, where industry and transportation converge. Life in the surrounding uplands is recorded through a dense network of rural infrastructure, including many schools such as Macey Sch and Franklin Sch, alongside centers of worship like Hickory Grove Ch and Parthenia Chapel.
