1953 Map of Cookeville East

About this map

Cookeville and the adjacent town of Algood serve as the focal points for this 1950s survey of the Upper Cumberland, capturing a moment of transition where established rural communities met post-war expansion. The map details a dense network of family landmarks and local institutions, ranging from Post Oak Ch and Burtons Chapel to the Putnam County Airport. The terrain is defined by the ascent from the city toward the high ridges of Green Mountain and Buck Mountain, where small settlements like Verble and Bangham are situated near the Overton Co Putnam Co line.
