About this map

The agricultural landscape north of the Robertson County seat is defined by the winding course of the Sulphur Fork and its tributaries, including Buzzard Creek and Carr Creek. This 1952 survey, updated with 1980s data, illustrates the transition from mid-century rural life to late-century development around Springfield. The Seaboard rail line serves as a central artery for the region, connecting the primary settlements of Cedar Hill and Kinneys.

Local genealogy is well-preserved through numerous community landmarks, from rural schoolhouses like Taylor Sch and Fairview Sch to established congregations at Spring Creek Ch and Jones Chapel. The map reveals the expansion of local infrastructure, featuring the Springfield Municipal Airport and the concentrated municipal services at the Waterworks near the town center. Extensive woodland revisions reflect the changing land use patterns across the Tennessee hillsides during the post-war era.
