1943 Map of Dexter
USGS Topo · Published 1943About this map
The Black River flows through the village of Dexter, serving as a focal point for this Jefferson County landscape during the early 1940s. Compiled in part from aerial photography, this survey by the Tennessee Valley Authority details a rural economy defined by the New York Central railroad corridor and a network of numbered school districts, from School No 1 near Chaumont to School No 17 further east. The transition from the coastal waters of Guffin Bay to the inland agricultural fields of Brownville and Clayton is punctuated by geological curiosities like the Natural Bridge and high points such as Doanes Hill. Family history is preserved in several burial grounds, including the Freeman Cem and Luther Hill Cem, while the State Game Farm points to the specialized land use in the northern reaches of Hounsfield near Perch River.
