1951 Map of Whitten

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Chisholm Road cuts a historic diagonal path across this 1951 landscape, serving as a primary artery through the high ground of Bucksnort Ridge on the border of Tennessee and Alabama. The map documents a rural community defined by family landmarks and small-scale industry, including abandoned open pit mines along the eastern drainages of Butler Creek. Settlement is centered around local institutions such as Robertson Sch and a network of country churches like Whitten Chapel, Fairview Ch, and Macedonia Ch. Genealogists will find significant value in the numerous burial sites, including the Nash Cem near Crossroads and the Roberson Cem tucked away near Little Cypress Creek. The terrain is deeply carved by water, with Fantail Branch and Lost Creek feeding into a complex system of creek beds that shaped the settlement patterns of Wayne and Lauderdale counties.
