1950 Map of Palmer Shelter

USGS Topo · Published 1953

About this map

Tennessee Valley Divide crosses through the heart of this Carroll County landscape, separating the drainage systems of the western Tennessee plateau. The area is defined by a network of rural schoolhouses and country churches that served small agrarian communities at mid-century. Several family-named landmarks and historical settlements are visible, including Palmer Shelter, Buller, and Poplar Springs. The terrain is deeply dissected by numerous waterways such as Beaver Creek, Brier Creek, and Reedy Creek, with the Beaver Drainage Canal indicating early 20th-century efforts to manage the low-lying wetlands. For genealogists, the map is particularly useful for locating numerous burial grounds like Antioch Cem and Giles Cem, alongside community centers such as Liberty All Church and the Pleasant Hill School.
