About this map

The boundary between Wilson and Rutherford counties bisects this 1956 landscape, which captured significant topographic changes by the mid-1970s. The expansion of J Percy Priest Lake along the Stones River and Hurricane Creek dominates the southern half of the sheet, reflecting the mid-century transformation of the local watershed. This reservoir development significantly altered the environment around Jefferson Springs and the northern fringes of Sewart Air Force Base.

Inland, the terrain transitions into the dense woodlands of the Cedars of Lebanon State Forest. Local genealogy is well-represented through community hubs like Gladeville, Rockdale, and Vesta, alongside small country churches such as Fellowship Ch and Hamilton Chapel. Long-established transit routes, including the Stewart Ferry Pike and Couchville Pike, connect these rural settlements to the expanding suburban developments of Stones River Homes and the John Colemon School.
