1947 Map of Normandy

About this map

The Duck River and its various tributaries like Garrison Fork and Shipman Creek dominate this mid-century landscape on the edge of the Highland Rim. The town of Normandy serves as a central hub along the Nashville Chattanooga and St Louis Railway, which cuts across the terrain through numerous bridges including Gannon Bridge and Three Forks Bridge. The presence of Ledfords Mill near the Bedford and Moore County line speaks to the rural industry of the era, while the William Northern Airfield in the southeast indicates the mid-century aviation infrastructure in the region.
