1955 Map of Hunters Point

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

The winding Cumberland River dominates this mid-century landscape of Wilson and Sumner Counties, where the newly formed Old Hickory Reservoir has begun to reshape the riverbanks. The terrain is characterized by dramatic river bends like Cairo Bend and Belotes Bend, where small rural communities are anchored by local institutions. Near the river crossing at Hunters Point, the Nathan J Harsh Bridge serves as a critical link, while the presence of Ferry Road points to older methods of navigating these waterways. Inland, the map reveals a high density of rural churches and schools that formed the social backbone of the era, including the Philadelphia Church and Carroll School. The landscape is further marked by significant water features such as Spring Creek and the distinctive Indian Ladder Bluff, illustrating the complex topography that historically influenced settlement patterns and local transit routes like Cedar Pike.
