1968 Map of Moscow

About this map

Somerville stands as the primary seat of activity in this 1960s survey of southern Fayette County, situated at the junction of several regional routes north of the Wolf River. The landscape is defined by the winding paths of the Loosahatchie River and its accompanying Canal, which share the terrain with a dense network of country churches and small rural schools. In the southern portion of the sheet, the Southern railroad connects the riverside settlements of Moscow and LaGrange, providing a vital transit link across the West Tennessee bottomlands. The presence of the Old State Line near the southern border highlights the historic boundary between Tennessee and Mississippi, while family names like Hays Crossing and Pattersonville underscore the area's agricultural and social heritage. Numerous local landmarks, including the County Training Sch and Spring Hill Bluff, offer a detailed view of the community infrastructure during this era.
