1953 Map of Dickson
USGS Topo · Published 1987About this map
Iron mines (Abandoned) located south of Dickson Lake reflect the industrial heritage of this region during a mid-century period of growth and transition. The area is physically defined by the Tennessee Valley Divide, where water systems like Yellow Creek and Piney River shape the terrain. This 1953 survey, later updated in the 1980s, captures the expansion of Dickson along the Seaboard railroad and the Broadway of America highway. Rural life is well-documented through numerous family-named landmarks such as Lamasters Cem, England Cem, and Redden Spring. The map also preserves the locations of local educational and religious centers including Hillcrest Sch, Coaling Sch, and New Hope Ch, alongside post-war infrastructure like the Dickson Municipal Airport and a Drive-in Theater.
