1957 Map of College Grove

USGS Topo · Published 1989

About this map

The Louisville and Nashville Railroad cuts a diagonal path through the heart of Williamson County, anchoring the agricultural settlements of College Grove, Allisona, and Arrington. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Harpeth River and its tributaries like Arrington Creek and Nelson Creek, where small farm clusters developed around country crossroads. Social life in the mid-20th century is evident through numerous small congregations such as Wesley Chapel and Mt Pleasant Ch, along with the Kirkland Sch. Genealogists will find particular value in the identification of family-named landmarks and resting places, including the Newton Cannon Cem and Patton Knob. The map records a rural Tennessee economy still closely tied to the land and the rail line before the significant suburban expansion of the Nashville basin changed the character of these farming communities.
