About this map

The town of Alexandria serves as a central hub on this mid-century survey of the Tennessee landscape, positioned at the junction of the Sparta Pike and Hickman Road. The terrain is defined by a dense network of hollows and branches, including Webb Hollow and Chumley Hollow, which feed into larger water bodies like Hickman Creek and the Smith Fork. The map documents a deeply rooted rural community, evidenced by numerous family-named landmarks and historical sites such as the Old Campground Cem and Liberty Hill Ch.

Regional topography is marked by distinctive elevations like Round Top Knob and Hearn Hill. Moving toward the edges of the quadrangle, smaller settlements like Hickman and Statesville appear, connected by winding secondary roads that navigate the complex drainage systems of Goose Branch and Purtle Creek. The inclusion of the Fairgrounds near Alexandria and various cemeteries like Eastview Cem provides a detailed look at the civic and genealogical layout of the area before modern development changed the character of these rural corridors.
