1950 Map of Guthrie

About this map

The town of Guthrie serves as a significant rail hub along the Kentucky Tennessee border, where the Seaboard Line tracks converge. This mid-century landscape is defined by its agricultural character and a network of small, scattered communities like Hadensville and Pinchem. The topography is shaped by several watercourses, including the westward-flowing Spring Creek and the meandering Elk Fork in the northeast corner. Cultural landmarks such as Lester Chapel, Pleasant Grove Ch, and the Warfield Sch are well-distributed across the quadrangle, reflecting the importance of rural social centers. Genealogists may find value in the specific locations of several unnamed Cem sites alongside established grounds like Highland Cem and Hermon Cem. A major Pipe Line cuts diagonally through the central fields, marking the modern infrastructure of the 1950s within this traditional farming region.
