1972 Map of Savannah

About this map

The Tennessee River city of Savannah is the focal point of this 1970s survey, showing a landscape defined by significant postwar expansion and river-related geography. The city’s residential reach extends into neighborhoods like Woodland Heights, New Town, and Belle Meade, while the Hardin County General Hospital and Central High School mark the community's civic core. Beyond the city limits, the terrain transitions into the creek-carved hollows of the eastern hills, such as Owen Hollow and Jenkins Hollow, where smaller settlements like Olivet and Maddox persist. To the north, the presence of Kentucky Lake influences the local drainage, while numerous family-named burial grounds like Smith Cem and Doran Cem are scattered across the landscape, providing essential data for those researching Hardin County's ancestral homesteads and rural church communities like Burnt Church.
