1936 Map of Williamsport

About this map

The Duck River meanders through this portion of Maury County, defining a landscape of sharp bends and prominent bluffs like Bratton Bluff and Morrow Bluff. In the mid-1930s, the village of Williamsport served as a central point for the surrounding rural communities of Sawdust Valley and Arkland. The southern reach of the map reveals the industrial footprint of the Armour Phosphate Co near Armour Village, where a narrow gage line and settling basins indicate active mineral extraction. This survey, compiled by the Tennessee Valley Authority and USGS, records the pre-war rural infrastructure of the region, including numerous country schools like Samaritan Sch and Gant Sch. Water crossings were vital to local travel, evidenced by Southall Ford and the Graig Bridge, which connected farms to market roads like Tennessee State Highway No 50.
