1950 Map of Martin

About this map

Martin serves as the focal point of this 1950s survey, showing the community just as the University of Tennessee (Martin Branch) and the County Training School were shaping its educational landscape. The town is a clear railroad hub, defined by the crossing of the Illinois Central Gulf and the Louisville and Nashville lines. Beyond the town limits, the landscape transitions into a network of rural homesteads and agricultural plots connected by a high density of country churches and family burial grounds.
