About this map

Camp Forrest Military Reservation dominates the landscape in this 1941 Tennessee Valley Authority and War Department survey, reflecting the rapid mobilization of the Second World War era. Centered near Tullahoma, the map captures the extensive military infrastructure including the Camp Forrest Headquarters, a Filtration Plant, and a Disposal Plant, all situated along the Nashville Chattanooga and St Louis railroad line.

South of the reservation, the terrain transitions into more rural territory characterized by family-named landmarks and country churches. Genealogists will find numerous burial sites such as Holt Cem, Gault Cem, and Mangum Cem scattered across the Coffee and Franklin County line. The southern portion follows the winding path of Rock Creek toward Estill Springs and the Elk River, passing smaller institutions like the Girls Vocational Sch and Center Grove Sch.
