1950 Map of Enville

About this map

The Tennessee Valley Divide snakes through this West Tennessee landscape, separating the headwaters of numerous creeks that define the local topography. At the southern edge of the sheet, the community of Enville serves as a local hub, flanked by the Enville Ch and Woodlawn Cem. The 1950s terrain is marked by significant hydrological modifications, most notably the Middleton Drainage Canal Creek and White Oak Drainage Canal Creek, which suggest a concerted effort to manage the low-lying bottoms for agriculture.
