1944 Map of Englewood

About this map

Englewood and the older original settlement at Old Englewood anchor this 1944 survey of the McMinn and Monroe county border. The Louisville and Nashville railroad cuts a straight line through the valley, passing a Gaging Station and driving the development of the region's smaller stations and farming communities. Historical transportation routes are prominent, including the Old Federal Road and the Nashville and Cave Springs Road, which navigated the gaps between ridges like Rider Knob and Johnson Knob. Local life is recorded through a network of small churches and schools serving the rural populations near Nonaburg and Wilson Station. Genealogists will find many family-named cemeteries and landmarks, such as Cochran Cem and Isbell Cem, alongside several educational buildings like Caltharp Sch and Estanelle Sch.
