1950 Map of Life

USGS Topo · Published 1952

About this map

The Tennessee Valley Divide crests through this 1950s landscape, splitting the drainage between the Beech River system to the north and the Middle Fork Forked Deer River to the south. This rural Tennessee environment is punctuated by institutional landmarks like the Poorhouse and the County Farm Cem, reflecting mid-century social structures in a landscape otherwise defined by small farming communities and family plots. Small schools, including Laster Sch and Life Sch, are scattered along the ridge tops and creek valleys, serving localized settlements such as Life and Palestine.
