1949 Map of Olivehill

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Hardin Creek and Indian Creek define the rugged topography of this West Tennessee landscape, where the waters flow toward the sprawling Kentucky Lake in the northwest. The settlement of Olivehill serves as a primary local hub, anchored by the Olivehill Church and situated near the distinctive Arch Bridge. This postwar survey reveals a network of rural life tied to the river valley, where river crossings like Porter Ford and Garrard Ford remained critical for local transit. The map is particularly rich for genealogical research, documenting numerous family-named landmarks and resting places, such as Watson Cemetery, Patterson Cemetery, and Bailey Cemetery. Distinctive geological features like Buzzard Cave and Dickson Bluff overlook the winding creeks, while high points like Pine Knob and Blackshire Ridge offer a view of the wooded hollows that dominate the Hardin and Wayne County border.
