About this map

Livingston serves as the focal point of this mid-century survey, revealing a landscape defined by its transition from the northern Dale Hollow Lake shoreline to the elevated ridges of Schoolhouse Mountain and Miller Mountain. The town's grid and development patterns are captured just as the Livingston Municipal Airport and road networks began to expand into the surrounding rural communities. These outlying areas are dotted with numerous family cemeteries and country churches, such as Free Communion Ch and Walnut Grove Ch, illustrating the deeply rooted genealogical fabric of Overton County.

Industrial and agricultural history is visible through features like Garretts Mill and evidence of a Strip Mine, alongside the preserved forest of Standing Stone State Park. The drainage of Little Eagle Creek and Big Eagle Creek carves through the terrain, connecting the highland settlements of Unity and Allons to the broader Cumberland Plateau geography. This map provides a detailed view of a community balancing its traditional timber and farming roots with the infrastructure of the postwar era.
