1948 Map of Elkton
USGS Topo · Published 1982About this map
Elk River winds through the southern landscape of Giles County, serving as a geographic anchor for the riverfront town of Elkton and the smaller settlement of Dickson Town. This 1948 survey, based on 1944 aerial photography, illustrates a rural economy transitioning through the mid-20th century, with the Bee Line Highway and the Louisville And Nashville railroad providing vital transit links. The map is a significant resource for genealogists, documenting numerous family-named burial grounds like Trotter Cem, Nelson Cem, and Dunnavant Cem. Small community hubs are scattered across the terrain, including Conway with its local Conway Sch and Aspen Hill to the northwest. Industry is represented by the historical Vinta Mill and Morrell Mill, while the Alabama State Line defines the southern boundary near the growing community of Ardmore.
