About this map

The industrial and civic hub of Tullahoma anchors this survey, showing a landscape defined by significant 20th-century institutional and infrastructure development. The city's growth is evident in residential developments like Pineview Heights and Westside Heights, while its transportation roots remain tied to the Louisville and Nashville Railroad and the Nashville and Chattanooga Railroad. To the east, the extensive grounds of the Arnold Air Force Station and associated Wildlife Management Areas occupy large tracts of the Highland Rim.

Southward, the influence of the Tennessee Valley Authority is visible along the banks of Tims Ford Lake, where the Holiday Marina and Resort and Lakeside Estates signal the area's mid-century transition toward recreation. Local history is preserved in numerous rural sites, including the New Center Grove Ch New Awalt Cem and several family burial grounds such as Lasater Cem and Pylant Cem. Educational institutions like the Highland Rim School for Girls and the Highland Rim Experimental Farm reflect the diverse uses of the land during this period of Tennessee's history.
