1951 Map of Maysville

About this map

Flint River meanders through this portion of Madison County, providing a historical look at the valley before modern suburban expansion. The landscape is defined by the heavy presence of agricultural infrastructure and early industrial sites like Bell Factory and McCaleb Mill. A significant historical line, the Old Cherokee Boundary, cuts through the center of the terrain, crossing over Lewis Mountain and Berry Mountain. Small rural centers such as Maysville and Buckhorn serve as anchors for a network of country churches including Morning Star Church and Locust Grove Church. Transport is facilitated by the Nashville and Chattanooga St Louis and Southern railroads, which parallel early road systems like Lee Highway. For genealogists, the map is dense with burial grounds like Jordan Cem and Crowson Hill Cem, alongside numerous schoolhouses that served these dispersed communities.
