About this map

The Normandy Dam stands as a focal point on the Duck River, creating the expansive Normandy Lake which dominates the central landscape of this 1970s survey. This era captures the region's complex water management and aerospace history, featuring the northern reaches of the Arnold Engineering Development Center (US Air Force) reservation. In the southern portion of the map, the city of Tullahoma shows significant residential expansion through developments like Hickory Hill Estates and Lake Tullahoma Estates, all situated near the vital Louisville and Nashville Railroad corridor.

Rural heritage remains visible in the numerous small family and community burial grounds, such as Holland Hill Cem and Blanton Cem, alongside established country churches like Ward Chapel. The terrain is marked by significant karst features including Carroll Cave and Duke Cave, while the natural beauty of the area is highlighted by Rutledge Falls and Copperas Falls. These landmarks reflect a transition from traditional agricultural settlements like Hickerson Station to a more modernized industrial and recreational landscape.
