1949 Map of Pittsburg Landing

About this map

Shiloh National Military Park dominates the southern landscape of this Hardin County survey, preserving the grounds where the 1862 Civil War battle unfolded. The terrain is marked by significant landmarks like the National Cem, St Shiloh Ch, and Shiloh Sch, alongside several smaller family burial grounds such as Worley Cem and Phillips Cem. To the north, the Tennessee River and Kentucky Lake define the eastern boundary, with historical river access points at Crump Landing, Perkins Bluff Landing, and Walkers Landing. The settlement of Crump serves as a local hub near the U. S. 64 crossing, while the surrounding area is drained by a complex network of waterways including Snake Creek, Beech Creek, and Gollis Creek. This map captures a rural Tennessee landscape in the late 1940s, balancing commemorative military history with active riverfront commerce.
