1952 Map of Lambert

About this map

Loosahatchie River and its extensive bottomlands define this portion of Fayette County, where the 1952 landscape is dominated by a systematic network of drainage improvements like the Loosahatchie River Canal and Laurel Creek Canal. The settlement pattern follows the higher ground flanking the Cypress Bottom and Loosahatchie Bottom, revealing a dense distribution of rural institutions essential to mid-century Tennessee life. Small communities and named locales such as Lambert and Moorman are anchored by numerous country schools, including Warren Sch and Brewer Sch, and local churches like Rhea Chapel and Feathers Chapel. For genealogists, the map is particularly valuable for its many family-named landmarks and burial sites, from the Mason Quarter Cem near the northern boundary to the Stafford Cem in the southwest, reflecting the deep-rooted agrarian history of the region before modern consolidation.
