1936 Map of Craigfield

About this map

The Hickman and Williamson county line bisects this mid-1930s landscape, where rural life is anchored by a network of small schoolhouses and country churches. The small settlement of Craigfield sits near the center of the sheet, surrounded by family-named landmarks like McCord Cem and Beard Cem. The terrain is defined by the Basin Divide, with water flowing through the Locust Fork and Younger Creek valleys. Modern infrastructure is represented by the Tennessee Electric Power Company Transmission Line and Tennessee State Highway No 100, which cut across the northern portion of the quadrangle. For those researching local genealogy, the distribution of schools such as Allen Sch and Postoak Sch, alongside congregations at Greens Chapel and Oak Grove Ch, provides a clear view of community hubs before mid-century shifts.
