About this map

Columbia serves as a regional hub in this post-war survey, defined by its position along the Duck River and its critical transportation infrastructure. The city center, highlighted by City Hall and the L & N Station, transitions into residential areas like Highland Park and the campus of the Columbia Military Academy. To the west, the University of Tennessee Agricultural Experiment Station points to the area's ongoing importance in mid-century agricultural research, while several Strip Mine operations scattered across the hills indicate a landscape undergoing active extraction.
