1950 Map of Jackson South

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

Industrial and academic life in Madison County centers around the city of Jackson, where the campus of Union University and Lambuth College dominate the northern urban landscape. This mid-century view captures the city's complex rail infrastructure, including the Illinois Central and Gulf Mobile And Ohio lines, which converge at critical hubs like Frogmoor Yards and Iselin Station. To the south, the company town character of Bemis is evident, anchored by its own school system including Young High Sch and West Bemis Sch. The landscape is defined by the wetlands surrounding the South Fork Forked Deer River, which separates the dense residential streets of the city from the smaller outlying communities of Malesus and Madison Hall. Rural life is marked by numerous family-named landmarks and country institutions such as Lester Chapel and East Union Ch, illustrating the shift from the industrial core to a dispersed agricultural economy.
