About this map

Tullahoma serves as the focal point of this regional study, showing a period of significant expansion across the Coffee and Franklin county lines. The landscape is defined by the intersection of military, educational, and recreational development, most notably the sprawling grounds of the Arnold Air Force Station and the Arnold Engineering Development Center. To the south, the rising waters of Tims Ford Lake along the Elk River represent a major shift in the local geography, creating a new shoreline that borders Lakeside Estates and the Holiday Marina and Resort.

Genealogists will find a wealth of data in the numerous family and community burial grounds, including the Maplewood Cem, Camp Forrest Cem, and Redfern Cem. The industrial and transport history of the area is anchored by the Louisville and Nashville Railroad, which parallels the growth of residential neighborhoods like Bel-Aire and Pineview Heights. From the Highland Rim School for Girls to the Gospel Tabernacle, the map documents the civic and spiritual infrastructure of a growing Tennessee community.
