About this map

Maury City and the surrounding agricultural landscape of Crockett Co are documented here in a 1964 survey, revised with 1975 aerial data. The map reveals a high density of rural institutions, including Barkers Chapel, Averys Chapel, and the Hamlett Robertson Sch, illustrating the dispersed but connected nature of West Tennessee farming communities. The terrain is defined by a network of drainage systems like Pond Creek and Tucker Creek, which dictated the early placement of settlements such as Crockett Mills.

A notable remnant of former infrastructure is the Old Railroad Grade running northwest from Maury Junction, showing how previous transport corridors transitioned into the local road network. The map is particularly useful for genealogical research, identifying numerous family-named landmarks and burial sites including Nunn Cem, Roberson Cem, and Kail Cem. The transition from the rural roads of Johnsons Grove to the larger seat at Alamo provides a clear view of the regional hierarchy before late-century modernization.
