1951 Map of Whitten

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

Chisholm Road cuts a prominent diagonal across the landscape of Wayne County and Lauderdale County, linking small rural settlements like Crossroads and Fairview along the Tennessee-Alabama state line. The terrain is defined by the prominent Bucksnort Ridge and a dense network of waterways including Butler Creek, Cypress Creek, and Mill Branch. This 1951 field examination reveals a highly localized community structure, where numerous one-room schoolhouses and country churches such as Macedonia Ch, Robertson Sch, and Whitten Chapel served family clusters. Evidence of early industrial activity appears on the eastern edge with several Open Pit mines (Abd), while family cemeteries like Brewer Cem and Roberson Cem provide essential data points for genealogical research in this border region.
