1951 Map of Princeton

About this map

Paint Rock River valley serves as the central artery for this Jackson County landscape, where the confluence of Larkin Fork and Lick Fork at Princeton defines the local geography. The 1951 survey, based on 1940s field examinations by the Tennessee Valley Authority, reveals a rugged terrain dominated by the Cumberland Plateau and Jacobs Mountain. Small agricultural settlements like Hollytree and Little Nashville are linked by a network of local routes such as LR 56, while the higher elevations are marked by distinctive points like Logan Point and Prince Point. The map provides significant genealogical value through its many family-named cemeteries, including Green Cem, Fowler Cem, and Latham Cem. These burial grounds, alongside rural landmarks like Guess Creek Church and Williams Cove Ch, illustrate a deeply rooted community structure established within the narrow coves and along the fertile river bottoms.
