1950 Map of Walterhill

About this map

The confluence of the East Fork Stones River and West Fork Stones River anchors this central Tennessee landscape during the mid-twentieth century. The region is defined by a dense network of pikes and river crossings, including Jefferson Pike and Lebanon Pike, which connect established communities like Old Jefferson and Walterhill. Evidence of the area's significance to military and civic history is prominent, from the Stones River National Military Park in the south to the Smyrna Army Air Field on the northwestern edge. A strong rural infrastructure is visible through numerous community anchors, including Hickory Grove Ch, Bethel Sch, and the U S Veterans Hospital. The Nashville Chattanooga and St Louis Railway cuts through the southwest, running parallel to Overall Creek and serving the village of Florence.
