1956 Map of Silver Point

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

Center Hill Lake dominates the landscape in this mid-century survey, its fingers reaching deep into the winding valleys of the Caney Fork and Falling Water River. The flooding of these valleys transformed the region, yet the map preserves the older upland settlement patterns around Silver Point and Williams Crossroads. The map is particularly rich in rural educational and spiritual landmarks, documenting sites like Herrens Chapel Sch, Carrs Chapel Sch, and the Rock Castle Sch. These small community hubs, alongside numerous unnamed cemeteries, trace the genealogical footprint of the Putnam and De Kalb county line. Infrastructure like the Louisville and Nashville railroad and the Hurricane Bridge provide a window into the transportation networks that sustained these hills before and after the reservoir's creation.
