About this map

McLemoresville serves as the primary hub of this Carroll County landscape, situated where an Old RR Grade crosses through the local drainage network. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Rutherford Fork Obion River, which gathers numerous tributaries including White Creek, Mill Branch, and Steep Bank Branch. This mid-century survey reveals a highly distributed rural community anchored by small churches and schools, such as Westview Sch, Obion Chapel, and Carter Chapel.

Transportation history is visible in the network of legacy routes like the Old Stage Road and Old Clarksburg Road, which once connected these remote settlements to larger markets. Small-scale water features like Beech Lake and Twin Lakes dot the topography, while the presence of the Water Tank in McLemoresville indicates the centralized infrastructure supporting the town. The map provides clear evidence of the area's transition from a rail-dependent economy to one shaped by these historic roadways.
