1956 Map of Morrison

About this map

Morrison serves as a primary hub along the Nashville Chattanooga and St Louis railway during the mid-1950s. The landscape is defined by the transition from the rolling terrain of The Barrens in the south toward the more complex drainage of Hickory Creek and its many tributaries. This area shows a high density of rural genealogy markers, with family-named cemeteries such as Stroud Cem, Bryan Cem, and Wooten Cem scattered throughout the rural landscape. Small community nodes are anchored by landmarks like Fountain Grove Ch and the industrial history represented by Bryan Mill. The survey also highlights the local significance of higher elevations, such as the lookout tower atop Summitville Mtn, which provides a vantage point over the intersection of Warren and Coffee counties.
