USGS Topo · Published 1953About this map
Lexington serves as the regional hub in this 1950s survey, situated where the Nashville Chattanooga and St Louis RR meets the historic Natchez Trace. The landscape is defined by the Tennessee Valley Divide, which separates the headwaters of the Middle Fork Forked Deer River from the Beech River Drainage Canal system. This era reveals a transition in land use, as seen in the presence of the Franklin Wilkins Airfield and the sprawling Natchez Trace State Park and Forest in the northeast.
