About this map

Readyville sits at the junction of the East Fork Stones River and its many tributaries, serving as a hub for this rural corner of Central Tennessee in the early 1960s. The landscape is defined by its watercourses and prominent knobs, including Pilot Knob and Peaks Hill, which overlook a network of small settlements and country churches. Local history is deeply embedded in labels like Science Hill Ch near Kittrell and the Wards Grove Ch further north.

Transport through the area follows the historic Bradyville Pike, connecting rural outposts like Curlee and Burt. The map documents a community infrastructure rooted in small congregations and local education, evidenced by the South Side Sch near Culpepper. Along the Cripple Creek and Carson Fork, the placement of family cemeteries such as the Hoover Cem provides essential data for genealogists tracing the early inhabitants of this river-carved terrain.
