1956 Map of Crossville

About this map

The Tennessee Valley Divide snakes through the heart of this mid-century survey, separating the waters of the Obed River from the Tennessee River drainage. At the center of the plateau, the city of Crossville serves as a regional hub, where the Tennessee Central Ry intersects with the Alvin C. York Highway and Broadway. The map documents a period of infrastructure expansion, showing the William Howard Highway (Under Construction) cutting through the landscape toward the Crossville Municipal Airport.
