1953 Map of Cookeville West

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

Cookeville serves as the focal point of this mid-century survey, revealing the early layout of the Tennessee Polytechnic Institute campus and the essential path of the Tennessee Central railroad cutting through the heart of town. The landscape transitions from the urbanized center of Cookeville, with its General Hospital and City Hall Post Office, into a rural network of small communities defined by family names and local institutions. To the northwest, the Junior Military Academy stands near Bloomington Springs, while the surrounding hills are dotted with landmarks like Lee Seminary and Pilot Knob. The mapping captures a high density of rural infrastructure, including numerous cemeteries such as Mc Broom Cem and Whitson Cem, alongside country schools like Sycamore Sch and Pippin Sch, providing a clear view of the social geography of Putnam County before modern expansion.
