1950 Map of Palmer Shelter

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

The Tennessee Valley Divide snakes through this Carroll County landscape, marking the hydrologic boundary between the Tennessee and Mississippi River watersheds. In the mid-20th century, this rural district was defined by a network of small family-centered settlements like Leach, Palmer Shelter, and Clarksburg. The map reveals a high density of community landmarks essential for genealogical research, including the Liberty All Church Cem, Antioch Cem, and Sellers Cem. Educational history is preserved through the locations of the Pleasant Hill School and Scott Hill School, while the presence of a fish hatchery near Anark Ch indicates specialized land use in the bottomlands. Significant drainage modifications are evident along the Beaver Creek Drainage Canal, where engineered channels contrast with the natural winding paths of Rock Creek and Reedy Creek.
