1970 Map of Drummonds

About this map

The Mississippi River defines the western edge of this landscape, its shifting course marked by river miles and the Densford Revetment. To the east, the terrain rises into the bluffs and hills where small Tennessee communities like Drummonds and Dixonville are established. This 1970s-era geography shows a network of country roads and drainage patterns, including the Royster Creek Drainage Canal, which supported the local agricultural economy. Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the placement of rural institutions, such as Poplar Grove Cem, St Marks Ch, and the Drummonds Sch. The map also captures the transition from the river bottomlands at Cedar Point Landing to the higher elevations of the interior, where the county line separates Tipton and Shelby counties.
