1961 Map of Medon

About this map

Medon and Deanburg anchor this West Tennessee landscape in the early 1960s, a region defined by the convergence of Madison, Chester, and Hardeman counties. The transportation network is built upon the competing routes of the Illinois Central and Mobile and Ohio railroads, which parallel drainage systems like Sandy Creek and Clover Creek. A high density of rural institutions suggests a deeply rooted community, including the Rosenwald Sch and numerous country churches such as Clover Creek Ch and Pleasant Springs Ch.
