1936 Map of Verona

About this map

The Duck River carves a winding path through the borderlands of Maury and Marshall counties, defining a landscape of sharp river bends and scattered islands like Tates Island and Cundiff Island. In the mid-1930s, this area was a patchwork of small agricultural settlements and family-named landmarks. The river provided more than just a boundary, supporting infrastructure like the Lillard Mill Power Plant and Hardison Mill. The transition from river-based power to the modern grid is evident by the Tennessee Electric Power Company Transmission Line cutting across the terrain.
