1972 Map of Tullahoma

About this map

The aerospace and defense footprint of the Arnold Engineering Development Center (U S Air Force) dominates the eastern landscape of this early 1970s survey, illustrating the Cold War era's impact on Middle Tennessee. Adjacent to these high-tech facilities, the Arnold Wildlife Management Area preserves a significant expanse of wooded terrain, while the developing shoreline of Tims Ford Lake reflects a shift toward recreation. Evidence of this transition appears at the Holiday Marina and Resort (construction) near Estill Springs. In Tullahoma itself, the municipal layout is anchored by the Louisville and Nashville railroad corridor, which services local industry and the University of Tennessee Agricultural Experiment Station. Longstanding community roots are visible in the numerous family burial grounds and churchyards, including Maplewood Cem, Evergreen Cem, and Oakwood Cem.
