1949 Map of Belfast

About this map

Belfast serves as a central hub in this Tennessee landscape, where the Louisville and Nashville RR cuts through the terrain near Blackwell Crossing. The map reveals a post-war rural society defined by a dense network of country churches and family burial grounds, such as Rocky Point Church and Adams Cem. To the north, the settlement of Farmington is marked by the Confederate Memorial Park, reflecting the deep historical roots of the region. The topography transitions from the agricultural flats near East Rock Creek and Mud Creek into the more varied elevations of Grandview Ridge and Davidson Hill. Educational and spiritual life is anchored by landmarks like the Cedar Grove School and Head Springs Church, while natural features like Blowing Cave and Twitty Spring punctuate the hollows of Liberty Valley.
