1951 Map of Petersburg

About this map

Petersburg sits at the intersection of the Marshall and Lincoln County line, serving as a focal point for this agrarian landscape in the mid-20th century. The Nashville Chattanooga & St Louis railroad tracks cut through the eastern hills, connecting local farms to broader markets. The topography is defined by a dense network of named hollows and hills, such as California Hollow and Welch Hill, which dictate the placement of small settlements and family farms.
