USGS Topo · Published 1969About this map
Industrial and residential life in mid-century Maury County centers on Mount Pleasant, where the Louisville and Nashville railroad serves a landscape heavily shaped by phosphate extraction. Extensive strip mines dominate the terrain east and south of the city, interspersed with industrial infrastructure like the Quality Flume and numerous tailings ponds. This 1950s-era documentation, updated in the late 1960s, reveals a complex social geography through distinct settlements such as Frierson Town, Red Row, and Needmore.
