1960 Map of Campaign

About this map

The confluence of the Caney Fork River and the Collins River defines this landscape during the mid-twentieth century, where the rising waters of the Center Hill Reservoir meet the older impoundment of Great Falls Lake. The mapping reveals a transition from the winding river bends of Greenbrier Bend and Horseshoe Bend to the more settled uplands of the Cumberland Plateau foothills. Near the southern edge, the Louisville and Nashville railroad serves the community of Campaign, while numerous small settlements like Moores College and Midway are connected by a network of rural routes including Ferry Road. Small country congregations and burial grounds, such as Old Bybee Chapel and Friendship Cem, are scattered throughout the hills, providing a detailed record of the social and family geography before modern regional consolidation transformed these rural Tennessee communities.
