1970 Map of Drummonds

About this map

Drummonds serves as the focal point of this 1970s Tennessee landscape, where the loess bluffs of the Tipton County line overlook the broad alluvial plains of the Mississippi River. The settlement pattern follows the high ground along the ridge, marked by a dense network of country churches and schools such as Poplar Grove Ch and Drummonds Sch. To the west, the river environment is defined by dynamic shoreline features like Cedar Point and Sigler Island No 36, alongside oxbow remnants like Sullivan Lake and Round Pond. The map captures the agricultural and social centers of Quito and Dixonville before modern expansion, recording family-named infrastructure like Herring Road and Cole Road. This survey documents a critical transition where the plateau's drainage, including Sugar Creek and Royster Creek, meets the river's flood-prone bottomlands.
