1957 Map of Johnson Hollow

About this map

The Fort Campbell Military Reservation occupies a substantial portion of this landscape, its boundary lines intersecting with the Kentucky and Tennessee state border. The terrain is deeply carved by drainage systems like Johnson Hollow and Cheatham Hollow, which feed into local waterways such as Donaldson Cr and Skinner Creek. This 1950s survey documents a rural infrastructure of community nodes, centered around the Delmont Sch and various local houses of worship, including Delmont Ch and Union Hill Ch. Genealogists will find a high density of family and community burial grounds, from the Old Dry Creek Cem in the north to Atkins Cem and Sams Cem further south. The presence of an Airstrip near Saline Creek indicates the military influence on local transportation and land use during this era.
