1947 Map of Huntland

About this map

The Elk River winds through the northern reaches of this landscape, defining a series of sharp river bends like Sullenger Bend and Templeton Bend along the county line. The agricultural and industrial character of the era is evident in the water-powered sites of Falls Mill and Brown Mill, both located along the creeks feeding the river system from the east. In the southern half, the Nashville Chattanooga and St Louis Road anchors the settlements of Huntland and Elora, serving as a vital corridor for the region's mid-century commerce.
