1972 Map of Capitol Hill

About this map

Arnold Air Force Station dominates the northern landscape of this region, which was surveyed as the modern reservoir system was reshaping the central Tennessee basin. The expansive Woods Reservoir is the centerpiece of the local geography, surrounded by recreational camps such as Camp Tannassie and Camp Arrowhead (BSA). South of the reservoir, the terrain transitions into a dense network of family-named cemeteries and rural institutions that hint at the area's agricultural past before the flooding of the Elk River valley. Notable sites for genealogy include Beth Page Cem, Featherston Cem, and the Elk River Ch. The Louisville and Nashville railroad passes through Estill Springs in the southwest corner, connecting the community to the broader industrial corridor of the late twentieth century. This map captures the intersection of military infrastructure and the emerging water-management landscape of Tims Ford Lake.
