About this map

Munford and Atoka serve as the primary hubs of this West Tennessee landscape during the early 1970s, connected by the busy diagonal corridor of the Illinois Central Gulf railroad. The map documents a rural transition where traditional community anchors like Campground Ch and Hopewell Cem stand alongside emerging recreation and infrastructure, including Edmund Orgill Park near the southern boundary.

The terrain is defined by the winding paths of Big Creek and Cane Creek, which carve through the loess hills of Tipton County. To the north, older names like Simonton and Double Bridges mark persistent crossroads, while industrial footprints appear near the rail line at the Gravel Pit. The map captures the area just as suburban expansion began to reach north from the Shelby Co line, shown through updated residential details near Tipton and Kerrville.
