About this map

Fort Campbell Military Reservation dominates the central landscape of this 1957 survey, illustrating the significant federal footprint in Montgomery County and Stewart County. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainage, including Piney Fork, Moss Creek, and Fletcher Fork, which carve through the wooded hillsides. Settlement is concentrated along the east-west corridor where Woodlawn and Oakwood are situated.

Genealogists and local historians can find specific markers of mid-century rural life, from the Griffey Ch in the south to the Elizabeth community near the eastern edge. Industrial and infrastructure markers like the Pumping Station near the Little West Fork and a prominent Lookout Tower reflect the land management and utility needs of the era. The southern portion of the map is particularly notable for its numerous family and community burial sites marked as Cem and Cems.
