1947 Map of Farmington

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

Wilhoite Mills and the community of Smyrna anchor the center of this Marshall County landscape, where the Duck River winds through fertile valley lands. The topography is defined by the river's deep meanders and several crossings, including Hopkins Bridge and the Fishing Ford Road further east. The Louisville and Nashville railroad runs north-to-south, paralleling the Nashville Road through the town of Farmington near Big Spring. This post-war period survey captures an agricultural society still heavily centered on local institutions, evidenced by the numerous family burial grounds like Wilhoite Cem and Mc Quiddy Cem, alongside rural education centers such as O'Neal Sch and Haskins Chapel School. The survey reflects a transition as the Tennessee Valley Authority documented the region's river systems and topography from aerial photography.
