1947 Map of Rally Hill

About this map

The Lewisburg and Franklin Pike serves as a primary north-south artery through this Middle Tennessee landscape, crossing the boundaries of Williamson, Maury, and Marshall counties. At the time of this 1947 field examination, the area is defined by small agricultural hubs like Rally Hill and Pottsville, where local education and faith centered on sites such as Lee Buckner Sch and Old Lasea Ch. The terrain is shaped by the meandering Duck River in the south, creating the prominent Jones Bend and receiving waters from Pumpkin Creek and Flat Creek. Numerous family names are preserved across the map in the high density of small burial grounds, including the Derryberry Cem and Reynolds Cem, and local landmarks like Lunns Store and Reeds Store. The presence of Beer Wallow and several distinct hills such as Collins Hill and Orchard Hill suggests a landscape of varied elevation used for both farming and pasture.
