1957 Map of Indian Mound

About this map

Indian Mound serves as the focal point of this Stewart County landscape, where the agricultural traditions of north-central Tennessee meet the administrative boundaries of the Fort Campbell Military Reservation. The map captures a transition in land use, showing established family landmarks and rural institutions like the Lineberry Cem, Big A Sch, and Atkins Sch alongside the encroaching federal footprint. To the south, the terrain descends into the bottomlands of the Cross Creeks National Wildlife Refuge, where the Lake Barkley shoreline begins to take shape. Numerous small settlements such as Legate and Wyatt Ch are depicted, connected by a network of creeks including Piney Fork and North Fork. This survey provides a look at the mid-century rural infrastructure before subsequent modernization, preserving the locations of community anchors like the Rose Valley Ch and Commissary Sch.
