Walterhill Tennessee Murfreesboro Smyrna USGS Topo Map 1984

$49

This USGS 7.5-minute topographic map is a 1950 edition with 1984 photorevisions, printed in 1984 and in very good condition, lightly handled and never folded. Covering roughly 7 by 9 miles in Rutherford County northeast of Murfreesboro, the quad area takes in the community of Walterhill along with parts of Smyrna and the shoreline of J. Percy Priest Lake. The underlying survey dates to 1944 through 1950, well before the Nissan Assembly Plant came to this stretch of middle Tennessee, so the sheet records the countryside as it stood beforehand. Printed on thick stock, it carries a previously repaired edge tear and library stamps in the bottom right collar, while the map area itself is flawless.

A VALUABLE HISTORICAL RECORD
This map is from the 7.5-minute series, the most detailed series that is widely available from the USGS. The 1950 Walterhill map is a valuable historical record for the area. It contains some placenames and features that have been dropped from more recent maps.

The map was photorevised in 1984. Any features that changed or were added between the original edition year of 1950 and the photorevision year of 1984 are overlayed in purple. The purple overlay provides an excellent view of the fast-growing and changing areas within the quad boundary.
