1961 Map of Springfield South

About this map

The southern outskirts of Springfield and the rolling hills of Robertson County define this early 1960s landscape, just before significant suburban expansion. Small agricultural hubs like Coopertown and Flewellyn are centered around local institutions such as the Flewellyn School and numerous country churches. The map reveals a high density of family and community burial grounds, including the Lipscomb Cem, Murphy Cem, and the Cem Frierson Chapel, which serve as vital markers for local genealogists. The terrain is deeply etched by a network of waterways including Carr Creek, Browns Fork, and the winding Sycamore Creek near the southern border with Cheatham County. Notable landmarks such as the County Farm and the Radio Tower (WDBL) indicate the administrative and technological presence in the county at mid-century.
