About this map

Gallatin serves as the focal point of this mid-century survey, showing the city's street grid and essential infrastructure including the Gallatin Hosp, County Health Center, and multiple educational institutions like Howard Sch and Vena Stuart Sch. The transit corridor is defined by the Louisville and Nashville railroad, which cuts through the landscape near South Tunnel and Salem. To the south, the influence of the Cumberland River system is visible via the Old Hickory Reservoir.

The surrounding Sumner County countryside is dotted with small rural communities and church-centered settlements such as Graball, Union Hill, and Busha Chapel. Many of these locations are anchored by local schools, including Union Hill Sch and Busha Chapel Sch. Genealogists may find value in the precise locations of rural landmarks like Mt Zion Ch and the Crestview Memorial Park cemetery, situated along the Nashville Pike and Collier Lane.
