1954 Map of Grimsley

About this map

The Alvin C York Highway serves as the primary spine for this mid-century survey of the Cumberland Plateau, connecting the rural communities of Grimsley and Banner Springs. This landscape is defined by its intricate drainage patterns, where the North Prong Clear Fork and South Prong Clear Fork carve deep into the terrain. The settlement pattern follows the ridges and the highway, with clusters of family-named landmarks and local institutions like Tenchtown Ch and the Long Branch Sch anchoring the area.
