1950 Map of Palmer Shelter

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

The Tennessee Valley Divide snakes through the southern portion of this Carroll County landscape, marking the hydrological boundary between major drainage basins. This mid-century survey reveals a rural society organized around crossroads communities and local institutions. Small settlements like Leach and Palmer Shelter are anchored by a network of country churches and schools, including Davis Chapel, Anark Ch, and the Scott Hill School. The land is dissected by numerous waterways, such as Beaver Creek and Roan Creek, with the Beaver Drainage Canal indicating early 20th-century efforts to manage the low-lying bottomlands for agriculture. Genealogists will find a wealth of family-named landmarks and resting places, such as Spillers Cem, Giles Cem, and Blair Cem, which document the ancestral footprint of this West Tennessee region during the post-war era.
