About this map

The Nashville Chattanooga and St Louis Railway corridor anchors this 1930s landscape along the Tennessee-Kentucky border. In the central hub of Puryear, the intersection of industry and community is evident through the presence of Kilns near the Puryear Sch and Union Grove Ch. The map captures a transition in local transportation, noting both established routes and a Proposed highway extending south from the Obion River drainage toward the county line.

Rural life in Henry County is deeply mapped through an extensive network of family and community landmarks, including the Old Foundry Hill Cem and Old Foundry Hill Ch near the Spinks Spur. To the east, the landscape is defined by the headwaters of the North Fork Blood River and Middle Fork Clarks River, where small settlements like Conyersville and rural schools such as Hooper Sch served the surrounding farmsteads.
