1940 Map of Godwin

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

Duck River meanders through this portion of Maury County, defining a landscape shaped by sharp bends and deep hollows. In the 1940s, the region was characterized by small agricultural and industrial communities like Godwin and Natco, with the Louisville and Nashville railroad providing a vital corridor through the river valley. The map reveals a dense network of local landmarks, including family-named cemeteries such as Williams Cem and Vestal Cem, and spiritual centers like Knob Creek Ch and Godwin Chappell Ch. The industrial footprint of the era is evident at the Monsanto site near White Bend, while education centers like Santa Fe Sch and Beech Grove Sch served the rural population. Numerous hollows, such as Dark Hollow and Knob Hollow, illustrate the complex topography that constrained and directed early settlement patterns.
