It depends on the context and whose maps. The British and US Army used different maps and map marking symbols.

The British did not use the abbreviation TR for anything. R/T means radio telephony.

On WW2 vintage US Maps tr means "truss" (a framework, typically consisting of rafters, posts, and struts, supporting a roof, bridge, or other structure.)
or "Troop(s)"

Could it mean "Tower"? Tr is the abbreviation on the D Day 12,500 defence overprint maps as in "Water Tr"

How about Reconnaissance Tower, as per Sheldrake, there was a water tower there that was being used for reconnaissance, as per Hanny's link.
