About this map

The Fort Campbell Military Reservation dominates the central landscape of this Montgomery County quadrangle, showing the intersection of military training grounds and established rural communities in the mid-20th century. The settlement at Woodlawn sits at a crossroads in the east, while the village of Oakwood serves as a local anchor along the main transit corridor. This survey, updated with 1980 photorevisions, details a network of family-named landmarks and watercourses that defined the area's agricultural and social fabric.

Local researchers can identify numerous points of genealogical interest, including the Blair Cem and the Elizabeth Ch located near the headwaters of Fletcher Fork. To the south, the terrain descends toward Bascomb and Eldridge, marked by the presence of Griffey Ch and the expansive Cunningham Broadbent Lake. Numerous small drainages like Moss Creek and Jordan Creek dissect the upland ridges, illustrating the complex hydrology of this part of Middle Tennessee.
