1956 Map of Silver Point

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

Center Hill Reservoir dominates this mid-1950s landscape, its sprawling waters filling the deep valleys of the Caney Fork and Falling Water River. The map captures the region during a period of transition as the massive reservoir project, subject to controlled inundation to 685 feet, reshaped local geography across the Putnam and De Kalb county line. Despite the rising waters, the established community of Silver Point remains a focal point along the Tennessee Central railroad line, which snakes through the northern hills. Rural life is evidenced by numerous combined school and church sites, such as Carrs Chapel Sch and Nash Chapel Sch, which served as the social heart of dispersed settlements like Hickey and Cherry Hill. Further south, landmarks like Hurricane Bridge and the Cookeville Dock highlight the area's emerging role as a destination for river-based activity.
