1951 Map of Guys

About this map

McNairy County's agricultural and rural school landscape is documented here in the early 1950s, centered on the Guys settlement. This area is characterized by a dense network of country schools, including the Rosenwald Sch, reflecting the era's segregated educational infrastructure, alongside Adams Chapel Sch and St Rest Sch. These institutions, paired with numerous small churches like Wades Chapel and Olive Hill Ch, formed the social anchors of the hilly terrain between Oxford and Gravel Hill.
