1951 Map of Negro Hollow

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Waynesboro serves as the western anchor for this mid-century portrait of Wayne County, Tennessee, where the landscape is defined by an intricate network of hollows and ridges. The central Dick Cabin Ridge separates the watershed of Hurricane Creek from the eastern valleys drained by Forty-eight Creek. Of particular interest to genealogists and local historians are the numerous family-named burial grounds and houses of worship, including Copeland Cem, Walnut Grove Cem, and Mt Hope Ch. In the northeast, Liberty Hollow and Limekiln Hollow hint at early rural industry, while labels like Fourmile Board Hill and Tie Camp Hill provide insight into the timber and transit history of the area. Modern infrastructure begins to appear as well, noted by the Natchez Trace Parkway and the section of highway labeled Under Construction near Barlow Branch, marking the transition of the local road network during the 1950s.
