1951 Map of Campbellsville

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Campbellsville stands at a rural crossroads in the mid-20th century, serving as a focal point for a landscape defined by its creek valleys and ridges. This Tennessee Valley Authority survey reveals a dense network of country churches and community schools that organized local life, from Rose Hill Sch to Owen School. The boundary between Lawrence Co and Giles Co bisects the western half of the map, where small settlements like Marcella Falls and Oak Hill are situated among a high concentration of family-named landmarks. The terrain is deeply carved by drainage systems including Weakley Creek and Factory Creek, which created the many hollows—such as Buck Hollow and Knox Hollow—that dictated the placement of homesteads and cemeteries. Genealogists will find a high density of burial grounds, including the Kimbrough Cem and Stafford Cem, illustrating the deep-rooted family ties across this agricultural region.
