1951 Map of Campbells Station

About this map

Campbells Station serves as a central point in this 1951 topographic study of rural Middle Tennessee, where the Louisville and Nashville Railroad cuts through the terrain near Dodson Siding. The landscape is defined by the sharp divide of Elk Ridge, separating the drainage of Fountain Creek to the north from the intricate system of hollows to the south. This area, spanning the borders of Maury, Marshall, and Giles counties, remains largely agrarian, evidenced by the high density of family cemeteries such as Ballanfant Cem and Holt Cem, alongside small community hubs like Culleoka. Local education and faith are anchored by landmarks like the Mooresville School and Lowery Chapel, while the presence of a Telephone line following the eastern roads indicates the gradual reach of mid-century infrastructure into these valleys.
