1950 Map of Seventeen Creek

About this map

Natchez Trace State Park and Forest dominates this central Tennessee landscape, bisected by the Carroll Co Benton Co line. The terrain is defined by a dense network of winding waterways, including Seventeen Creek, Fourteen Creek, and the West Fork Birdsong Creek, which carve through the wooded hills. This mid-century survey captures a rural community organized around small schools and country churches, such as New Friendship Church and Butler Ch, many of which served as the social anchors for scattered settlements like Robison and Smothers.
