1936 Map of Farmington

USGS Topo · Published 1936

About this map

The Duck River winds through this rural landscape in the mid-1930s, creating a natural divide between Marshall and Bedford counties. Settlement is centered around small crossroads such as Farmington, Chapel Hill, and Richcreek, while the presence of Wilhoite Mills along the riverbanks suggests the lingering importance of water-powered industry. The map reveals a dense network of local landmarks essential for genealogical research, including numerous family-named burial grounds like Mc Quiddy Cem, Swanson Cem, and Haskins Cem. This era of development is marked by the Tennessee Electric Power Company Highway Trans Line, which cuts across the terrain alongside established routes like the Nashville and Louisville Highway. Several rural education and worship centers, such as Smyrna Sch and Mt Lebanon Ch, anchor the surrounding farmsteads.
