1959 Map of Hillsdale

About this map

Goose Creek and Dixon Creek carve through the high ridges of north-central Tennessee in this mid-century portrait of a rural upland landscape. The terrain is defined by a dense network of named hollows, such as Woodmore Hollow and Blankenship Hollow, where small agricultural communities like Hillsdale and Meadorville took root. The settlement pattern follows the valley floors and narrow gaps, with local life centered around institutions like Hillsdale Ch and several small family burial grounds, including Wallace Cem and Fleeman Cem.
