1950 Map of Holladay

About this map

Natchez Trace State Forest dominates the western landscape of this mid-century survey, where the Maple Creek Lookout Tower stands over a network of hollows and ridges. The settlement of Holladay serves as a northern anchor, while the surrounding countryside is defined by family-named landmarks and rural congregations like Franks Chapel and New Prospect Ch. This area, where several counties meet, shows a dense distribution of small cemeteries including Holladay Cem, Shiloh Cem, and Morgan Cem, suggesting deep genealogical roots in the Tennessee uplands. The drainage pattern is complex, with West Fork Birdsong Creek and the many branches of Cub Creek carving through the terrain. Evidence of later modernization appears in the purple revisions, which include the path of an interstate and Interchange 116 cutting across the central ridges.
