1959 Map of Westover

About this map

Huntersville and Westover anchor this mid-century portrait of Madison County, where small agricultural communities are linked by a complex network of rural thoroughfares such as Broadway and Nashville Road. The landscape is defined by the drainage systems of Johnson Creek and Black Creek, which cut through the undulating terrain near Mt Pinson. Transportation and infrastructure are central to the area's identity, evidenced by the Louisville and Nashville Railroad cutting across the territory with stops like Burkitt Siding. The map documents a high density of rural social centers, including numerous schools like West High Sch and Golden Sch, and local congregations at Andrews Chapel and Blairs Chapel. Aviation presence is also noted at Mc Kellar Field, featuring an Airway Beacon, marking the intersection of traditional Tennessee farming life and modernizing infrastructure.
