1953 Map of Centertown

About this map

Centertown serves as a focal point along the Broadway of America in this mid-century portrait of Middle Tennessee's rolling plateau. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the North Fork Barren Fork and the Barren Fork, where the N C & St L railroad tracks parallel the main highway. This era shows a well-established network of rural community centers, from the High Sch at Centertown to the quiet crossroads of Trousdale and Pleasant View.
