About this map

Pulaski serves as the focal point of this Tennessee Valley Authority study, showing a bustling county seat as its residential footprint expanded into Rebel Acres and Glendale Estates. The local economy of the mid-1960s is evidenced by the numerous strip mines dotting the northern ridges and the presence of the Seaboard Coast Line railroad. Education and community life are anchored by Martin College, the Giles Co High Sch, and landmarks like the Courthouse and Giles County Hospital.

South and west of the city, the landscape transitions to a network of family-named hollows and cemeteries, such as Pittard Cem near Pittard Cave and Reynolds Cem in Reynolds Creek. Waterways like Richland Creek and Pigeon Roost Creek define the drainage patterns, while the Davy Crockett Highway connects the rural settlements of Goodspring and Anthony Hill. These details offer a precise view of mid-century Giles County, from its industrial strip mines to its secluded country churches like Mt Moriah Ch.
