1953 Map of Mc Minnville

About this map

Barren Fork and Hickory Creek converge south of Mc Minnville, shaping a landscape of deep river bends and rising plateaus. This mid-century survey, photorevised in the 1980s, documents the seat of Warren County during a period of infrastructure expansion, highlighted by the County Memorial Airport and the concentrated industrial and residential growth in West Riverside. The map is particularly useful for genealogists, as it preserves the locations of numerous family and community landmarks like Finger Chapel Cem, Antioch Ch, and the rural school system including Biles Sch and Northside Sch. The influence of the And Western railroad line is evident as it cuts through the center of the region, connecting the urban core to outlying settlements like Smartt. From the industrial Filtration Plant to the elevations of Ben Lomond Mountain, the sheet provides a clear view of the area's transition from river-bottom farming to a regional hub.
