1955 Map of Hunters Point

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

Old Hickory Reservoir dominates this mid-1950s landscape, where the rising waters of the Cumberland River reshape the historic bends of Wilson and Sumner Counties. The transition from river to reservoir is evident in the blue-shaded areas subject to inundation, particularly around Cunningham Island and the meandering Bledsoe Creek. On the high ground, numerous rural institutions such as Philadelphia Ch and Carroll Sch suggest a close-knit agricultural community established long before the dam projects. Ancient river travel is still remembered through road names like Coles Ferry Road and Belotes Ferry Road, indicating where the river was once crossed by watercraft rather than the modern Nathan J Harsh Bridge. Small settlements like Cairo and Oakland serve as local hubs, surrounded by family cemeteries such as Conatser Cem and Barnes Cem that ground the geography in local genealogy.
