1938 Map of Springville

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

The Louisville and Nashville railroad cuts a diagonal path through this 1938 landscape, connecting the small settlements of Nobles and Springville. This rural portion of Henry County is defined by an intricate drainage system, with the Holly Fork and West Sandy Creek meandering through the bottomlands. The map reveals a high density of community institutions from the pre-war era, including the Sulphur Well Academy and local gathering places like Lebanon Ch and New Bethel Ch. The presence of numerous family cemeteries, such as Beaverdam Cem and Nichols Cem, provides a detailed record of the local genealogy. This period of the county's history shows the transition from traditional creek-side settlements to a landscape shaped by both rail transport and early drainage improvements like Chandler Ditch.
