About this map

The regional hub of Pulaski serves as the focal point of this 1951 survey, situated at the intersection of the Louisville and Nashville railroad and the Bee Line Highway. The town's grid is well-defined, featuring prominent local landmarks such as Maplewood Cem, Bridgeforth Sch, and the Radio tower (WKSR). North of the city, the landscape is marked by industrial activity, including several Strip Mines and associated Tailings ponds near the settlement of Wales.

To the southwest, the topography becomes more complex with numerous hollows like Fogg Hollow and Williams Hollow. This rural landscape is dotted with centers of community life including Goodspring, Anthony Hill, and several country churches like Chestnut Grove Church and Friendship Church. The drainage of Richland Creek and its many tributaries, such as Pigeon Roost Creek, defines the agricultural and residential patterns of mid-century Giles County.
