1972 Map of Covington
USGS Topo · Published 1983About this map
Covington serves as the focal point of this Tennessee landscape, centered along the Illinois Central Gulf rail line. The town's grid is detailed with street names like Rose Ave and Liberty St, alongside essential civic structures including the Courthouse, City Hall, and the County Hospital. Beyond the urban center, the map reveals a network of small rural communities such as Holly Grove, Mount Lebanon, and Garland, each linked by winding creeks like Town Creek and Mathis Branch. The settlement pattern is characterized by its numerous religious and memorial sites, including Avery Chapel, Midway Ch, and several family cemeteries like Walton Cem and Towson Cem. Notable local landmarks from the early 1970s, such as the Drive-in Theater and the Radio Tower (WKBL), reflect the mid-century infrastructure and social character of Tipton County during this era.
