Ever wonder just where in a county a particular "Civil District" was
actually located ? Or how do Civil Districts in adjacent counties align with
neighboring counties ? This little map of our area was given to me several years ago. It is ca.
1950 as best I can tell. Nevertheless, many counties, including Bedford, Cannon,
Coffee, and Rutherford didn't change much from 1870-80, until the mid 1950s.
It is a bit crude, but gives you a pretty good idea how things fit together.
