1951 Map of Red Bay

Rural life in Franklin, Itawamba, and Tishomingo counties is anchored by numerous small landmarks. Genealogists can locate family-named sites such as Ridge Cem, Burgess Cem, and Bullen Cem. The social fabric of these hills is further evidenced by a dense network of country churches and schools, from the Macedonia Sch in the north to Oak Grove Church in the south. The presence of a Reforestation area and the Red Bay Pumping Station underscores the managed natural resources of the Tennessee Valley Authority region.
