1952 Map of Stanton

About this map

Stanton serves as the focal point of this western Tennessee survey, situated at the junction of the Louisville and Nashville railroad and the Broadway of America highway. The landscape transition from the wooded wetlands of Hatchie Bottom in the north to the rolling hills of the south reveals a 1950s rural economy defined by family-named landmarks like Meux Hill and Birds Bower. Small rural settlements such as Keeling, Fredonia, and Belmont are hubs for social and community life, each anchored by local institutions like the Fredonia Sch or Belmont Ch. The map is particularly useful for genealogists, as it documents numerous smaller burial sites and family plots including Wesley Cem, Chote Cem, and Collier Cems across the Tipton, Haywood, and Fayette county lines.
