1953 Map of Cookeville East

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

The Tennessee Central RR cuts a diagonal path through the landscape of the eastern Highland Rim, connecting the rising hub of Cookeville with the railroad town of Algood. In the early 1950s, this area reflects a transition from rural homesteading to mid-century development, evidenced by the clustered community institutions like Burtons Chapel, Swallows Sch, and the Putnam County Airport. The terrain is defined by the sharp descent into Madewell Hollow and Turkey Hollow, where small family cemeteries such as Bohannon Cem and Lyles Cem dot the ridges. Municipal infrastructure of the era is prominent, from the Cookeville Filtration Plant near City Lake to the Cookeville Armory, marking the city's role as a regional administrative and utility center.
