1943 Map of Century
USGS Topo · Published 1943About this map
The Escambia River defines the eastern boundary of this 1940s landscape, where a dense network of creeks like Pine Barren Creek and Canoe Creek cuts through the terrain. The region is anchored by two major rail lines: the Louisville and Nashville RR running north-south near the river, and the St Louis San Francisco RR serving the western uplands. This survey captures a rural social fabric built around small community centers such as Oak Grove and Walnut Hill. Numerous local landmarks provide rich detail for genealogists, including Coon Hill Cem and Juniper Cem, alongside local schools like Ward Sch and Davis Sch. The map illustrates a transitional era when agriculture and timber remained central, evidenced by the many named branches and small settlements like Bratt and McDavid that served as local hubs.
