About this map

Tullahoma serves as a major hub for aviation and military engineering in the early 1960s, dominated by the massive Arnold Engineering Development Center (U S Air Force) and the Former Camp Forrest Military Reservation. The town itself exhibits rapid post-war residential expansion through neighborhoods like Pineview Heights, Bel-Aire, and Westside Heights. This growth is anchored by civil infrastructure including William Northern Field and the Tennessee Vocational School for Girls.

The southern portion of the map transitions into more rural landscapes along the Elk River, where the town of Estill Springs marks the rail line. Small community centers such as Center Grove are identifiable by their local institutions, including Center Grove Ch and various family cemeteries like Hinkle Cem and Simpson Cem. The presence of a large Wildlife Management Area bordering the military reservation highlights the preservation of land around the industrial and aerospace facilities.
