1951 Map of Fosterville

About this map

Fosterville and Christiana anchor this mid-century portrait of the Tennessee countryside along the Nashville Chattanooga and St Louis railroad line. The landscape is defined by the Tennessee Valley Divide, which separates the headwaters of the Stones River from the North Fork Creek drainage. This survey, based on 1940s aerial photography, reveals a dense network of rural community centers, each marked by family-named landmarks and local institutions. Genealogists will find a wealth of specific locations such as Alexander Cem, Spence Cem, and Morgan Cem. The topographic detail highlights the transition from the relatively level agricultural lands in the west to the more prominent elevations of Nebo Knobs, Hickory Hill, and Soapstone Hill in the southeast. Cultural hubs like Midland Sch and Guy Gap Sch suggest the localized nature of education and social life before the era of widespread school consolidation.
