1961 Map of Jones

About this map

The South Fork Forked Deer River meanders across this West Tennessee landscape, defining the boundary between Crockett and Haywood counties. This early 1960s survey illustrates a rural society organized around small crossroads communities and family-named landmarks. The Louisville and Nashville railroad cuts through the southern half of the quadrangle, passing through the settlement of Allens and near the Antioch Church. The map is particularly dense with community institutions, featuring numerous schools like the Shelton White School and Bradford School, alongside local churches such as Wortham Chapel and Taylor Chapel. This era precedes significant industrial consolidation, showing a landscape of small farms connected by routes like Cane Ridge Road and the Nashville and Northwestern Road. Genealogists will find value in the specific placement of the Wortham Chapel Cemetery and Hess Cemetery among the woodlots and wetlands.
