1954 Map of Greenfield

About this map

The Illinois Central railroad corridor serves as the primary developmental axis through this portion of West Tennessee, anchoring the principal settlements of Greenfield and Sharon. The landscape is defined by the broad, low-lying drainage basins of the Middle Fork Obion River and the South Fork Obion River, where complex channelization projects like Wing Ditch and Lipscomb Ditch illustrate mid-century efforts to manage the wetlands for agricultural use.
