1949 Map of Milledgeville

About this map

Milledgeville and Morris Chapel anchor this rural Tennessee landscape at the borders of McNairy, Chester, and Hardin counties. The terrain is defined by the sharp transition from the uplands down to the Tennessee River and the expansive Kentucky Lake. The map reveals an intricate network of waterways and engineered drainage projects, including the Bingham Drainage Canal and the White Oak Drainage Canal, which were essential for managing the low-lying bottoms around White Oak Creek.
