1947 Map of Normandy

About this map

Garrison Fork and the Duck River define the northern landscape of this region, winding through a complex network of ridges and river bends before the full development of modern reservoirs. The settlement of Normandy serves as a central hub, situated near the Normandy Reservation Boundary and the Louisville and Nashville railroad line. Local industry and early infrastructure are evident through landmarks like Cortners Mill and Ledfords Mill, while numerous family cemeteries including Mc Quiddy Cem, Troxler Cem, and Cortner Cem provide significant genealogical markers for the area. Moving south, the terrain transitions into The Barrens, a distinct plateau area near the Bedford and Moore County line. Small communities and rural social centers such as Bugscuffle, Raus, and Jenkins Sch appear across the quadrangle, connected by historical river crossings like Dement Bridge and Yell Bridge.
