1951 Map of Hazel

About this map

Murray State Teachers College anchors the northern edge of this 1951 survey, reflecting the mid-century growth of Murray as an educational and regional hub. The Nashville Chattanooga and St Louis railroad bisects the landscape, running south through the rural community of Midway toward Hazel at the Tennessee state line. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of the East Fork and Middle Fork Clarks River, which create a complex network of bottomlands and ridges.
