2013 Map of Palmer Shelter

About this map

Huntingdon Airport serves as a modern landmark in this section of Carroll County, where the landscape is defined by the headwaters and tributaries of Beaver Creek. The settlement pattern here follows the ridges and creek valleys, with small communities like Tate, Leach, and Anark linked by a network of rural roads such as Old Stage Rd and Tate School Rd. The map illustrates the geographical transition between upland areas like Marshall Hill and the numerous bottomlands drained by Reedy Cr and Brier Cr. Local history is preserved through the naming of small enclaves like Poplar Springs and the eponymous Palmer Shelter, reflecting a rural Tennessee landscape where agriculture and transport routes have shaped the development of distinct, dispersed neighborhoods over generations.
