1949 Map of Perryville

USGS Topo · Published 1952

About this map

Decaturville serves as a prominent highland hub on this 1940s landscape, while the Tennessee River dominates the eastern boundary, where the newly created Kentucky Lake was altering the riverfront. This era of Tennessee Valley Authority development is marked by the East Perryville Dewatering Area and complex drainage systems near Perryville. These hydrologic changes contrast with the deeply dissected hollows to the south, such as Furnace Hollow and Matted Hollow, where the terrain remains traditional and rural. Genealogists can locate several family burial grounds including Wallace Cem, Fisher Cem, and Luton Cem. Evidence of earlier industry is found at the Furnace site near Whites Creek, while community life is anchored by landmarks like Mt Lebanon Church and the Cypress Creek School. The map also preserves the locations of numerous river landings like Webbs Landing and Fishers Landing, reflecting a river-centered economy.
