About this map

McKenzie serves as a significant regional anchor on this 1967 survey, where Weakley, Carroll, and Henry Counties converge. The landscape is defined by the Louisville and Nashville railroad, which cuts a straight line through the heart of the region, connecting the larger hub of McKenzie to the smaller settlement of Gleason. This rail corridor supported a network of rural communities, evidenced by the numerous country churches and schools that dot the drainage basins of Tumbling Creek and Spring Creek.

Genealogists will find a wealth of specific landmarks, including Bethel College and several family-named burial grounds like Butler Cem and Manley Cem. The map also captures the local educational infrastructure of the late 1960s, documenting the locations of the High Sch, Jr High Sch, and Webb Sch. Smaller spiritual centers such as El Bethel Ch and Christian Chapel appear tucked away near Arnold Branch, illustrating the dense social fabric of the Tennessee countryside during this era.
