About this map

Mc Minnville sits at the confluence of the Barren Fork and Charles Creek, serving as a busy Warren County hub during the early 1950s. The town's industrial and civic footprint is clearly defined, showing the High Sch, Bernard Sch, and the Post Office along Main street. To the south, the terrain rises sharply toward the prominent Ben Lomond Mountain, while the lowlands are carved by a dense network of waterways like Hickory Creek and Peppers Creek.

Rural life in the surrounding valley is anchored by family-named landmarks and small communities such as Bethany and Wayside. Evidence of local industry and transport is found in the St Louis and Chattanooga railroad line and the Lawson Mill near Ivy Bluff. The map also captures specialized land use of the era, from the County Memorial Airport to the Drive-in Theater and the local Quarries that supported the region's economy.
