1953 Map of Craigfield

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

The Tennessee Valley Divide snakes across this central Tennessee landscape, marking the high ground where the headwaters of Turnbull Creek and South Harpeth Creek diverge. In the early 1950s, this region was a network of rural crossroads and family-held land, evidenced by the high concentration of named cemeteries like Lampley Cem and Cunningham Cem. The small community of Craigfield sits near the center, while Lampley Store serves as a localized hub for the surrounding valley farms. Education and faith were clearly centered on local landmarks, with numerous schoolhouses such as McFarland Sch and Triangle Sch appearing alongside churches like Mt Zion Ch and Greens Chapel. The rugged topography is defined by deep drainages like Mangrum Hollow and the numerous branches feeding the South Harpeth Creek, reflecting a traditional agricultural and timber-reliant economy before modern suburban expansion reached these hills.
