1954 Map of Pall Mall

About this map

The Alvin York Highway serves as the central artery for this mid-century portrait of the Tennessee-Kentucky borderlands, winding past the community of Pall Mall. This area, deeply tied to the history of World War I hero Alvin C. York, is characterized by its network of rural institutions like the York Bible Sch, York Chapel, and Wolf River Ch. The landscape is a complex system of ridges and hollows, where the Wolf River and its tributaries, such as the Rotten Fork Wolf River, have carved deep into the terrain.
