1949 Map of Michie

About this map

Michie serves as the central hub of this McNairy County landscape, situated where Tennessee 22 and Tennessee 57 converge. The topography is defined by the Tennessee Valley Divide, which separates the northern drainage of Owl Creek and Lick Creek from the southern reaches of Chambers Creek. This 1949 survey, with revisions noted through the late 1980s, captures a dense network of rural settlements and family landmarks including Pebble Hill, Needmore, and Tulu. Local history is preserved in the numerous community markers such as Sand Hill Ch, Sanders Cem, and Mt Olive Cem. The drainage patterns are intricate, featuring many named branches like Donald Branch and Wyatt Br that supported the agricultural life of the area during the mid-20th century.
