1951 Map of Rover

About this map

The Tennessee Valley Divide snakes across this mid-century landscape, separating the headwaters of Concord Creek and the Harpeth R from the southern drainages of Weekly Creek and Clem Creek. Small agricultural communities like Rover, Versailles, and Longview anchor a network of rural roads lined with family-named landmarks. The map is particularly dense with genealogical data, noting dozens of private burial grounds such as Taylor Cem, Nance Cem, and Rucker Cem that dot the countryside between the hills of Cedar Ridge and Bunker Hill.
