About this map

Garrison Fork and the Duck River dominate this Tennessee landscape, providing the power for industrial landmarks like Cortners Mill and Ledfords Mill. The settlement of Normandy serves as a central hub, situated where the Chattanooga and St Louis railroad crosses Norman Creek. The map documents a rural society deeply rooted in its local geography, evidenced by numerous family-named landmarks such as Whiteside Hill, Eddy Hill, and Caruthers Hill.

Infrastructure like Yell Bridge and Skinner Bridge facilitate movement across the river valleys, while The Barrens to the south mark a distinct shift in the terrain. Genealogists will find a wealth of data in the dispersed country churches and burial grounds, including Mt Zion Ch, Dickerson Cem, and Roberts Cem. The inclusion of William Northern Airfield reflects mid-century aviation developments on the border of Bedford and Moore counties.
