1936 Map of Theta

USGS Topo · Published 1936

About this map

Theta and Bending Chestnut anchor this mid-1930s survey of the rural borderlands between Williamson and Maury Counties. The landscape is defined by the Duck River Basin and the winding Duck River Divide, where a network of family-named hollows and creek branches supports a scattered agricultural community. Small-scale rural infrastructure is prominent, including the Morse Spring School and Parham School, alongside numerous country churches like Chestnut Ridge Church and Bethel Church. Local genealogy is well-preserved through detailed cemetery locations such as Carlisle Cem and Lockhart Cem. The absence of heavy industry or large towns highlights the era's reliance on the local terrain, with the Chestnut Ridge forming a natural spine for the area's secondary roads and homesteads.
