1953 Map of Tyner

About this map

Tyner and Annville serve as central nodes in this 1950s study of Jackson County, where the landscape is defined by a dense network of branches and forks within the Cumberland National Forest. The map documents a rural society deeply tied to its land, shown through numerous family-named landmarks and local institutions like the Tyner High School and Welchburg School. Settlements such as Bond and Egypt are connected by winding valley roads, while the presence of a Strip Mine and the Indefinite Boundary near the Clay County line hint at the region's industrial and administrative complexities. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of small burial grounds, including the Morris Cemetery and Farris Cemetery, alongside community spiritual centers like the Blooming Grove Church and Terrell Creek Tabernacle.
