1958 Map of Fountain Head

About this map

Louisville and Nashville tracks through the western hills of Sumner County, anchoring small communities like Fountain Head and Buck Lodge during the mid-20th century. This area is defined by the headwaters of West Fork Drakes Creek and the Caney Fork, where small rural settlements such as Sengtown, Corinth, and Brackentown emerged along the ridges. The landscape is dotted with several country churches and schools, including Mt Moriah Ch and the Highland Academy, reflecting a deeply established agrarian social structure.
