1947 Map of Flintville

About this map

The Flint River winds through the heart of this post-war Tennessee landscape, flanked by the prominent heights of Pea Ridge. The area is characterized by a dense network of rural infrastructure, including several small educational centers like Benson Sch and Vann Sch. The industrial and utility footprint of the region is evident in the Fayetteville Pumping Station near Kelso and the State Fish Hatchery located in the eastern portion of the quadrangle. Transportation is anchored by the Nashville Chattanooga and St Louis railroad, which services the community at Flintville and passing through Milners Switch. This 1940s survey reveals a landscape of family-named landmarks and local heritage sites, from Sycamore Swamp to several small community churches like Gum Springs Ch and Lucy Memorial Ch. Genealogy researchers will find significant value in the numerous family burial grounds documented, including Bostick Cem and Warren Cem.
