1947 Map of Glendale

About this map

The Duck River carves a winding path across this Maury County landscape, defining life through its dramatic bends like Cannon Bend and Vaughan Bend. This mid-century survey, updated with 1980s aerial data, reveals a rural economy centered on the river and the Louisville and Nashville railroad. The presence of Sowell Mill and its associated Sowell Mill Bridge points to an era of local grain processing, while numerous family-named burial grounds like Tankersley Cem and Vaughan Cem speak to deep-rooted genealogical history.
