1943 Map of Mc Minnville

About this map

Camp Forrest Military Reservation dominates the landscape south of Manchester, reflecting the wartime footing of Middle Tennessee during the early 1940s. This survey, compiled by the Tennessee Valley Authority and published by the Army Map Service, captures a complex network of small rural settlements and agricultural centers such as Morrison, Viola, and Hillsboro. The terrain shifts significantly from the river valleys of the Duck River and Elk River toward the rising elevations of the Cumberland Plateau in the southeast.
