1947 Map of Farmington

USGS Topo · Published 1948

About this map

Wilhoite Mills and the surrounding farmland of Marshall County are defined by the meandering course of the Duck River and its numerous crossings. The Louisville and Nashville RR cuts a north-south line through the center of this 1947 survey, passing near Smyrna and the rural crossroads of Farmington near Big Spring. The landscape is heavily marked by family history and community life, featuring an exceptional density of small burying grounds such as Wilhoite Cem, Mc Quiddy Cem, and Darnell Cem. River navigation and local travel are emphasized by specific river mile markers and named crossings like White Ford and Shearin Ford. This era shows a well-established network of country churches like Bethbirei Ch and rural education centers such as Haskins Chapel School, capturing the social geography of Middle Tennessee before modern highway developments altered these local connections.
