1946 Map of Bat Cave

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

Hickorynut Creek carves a steep path through this mountain landscape, which was surveyed by the Tennessee Valley Authority in the mid-1940s. The region is characterized by a mix of agricultural clearings near Edneyville and the high-elevation peaks of the Blue Ridge. The map documents a community infrastructure of country churches and small educational outposts, including St Peters Sch and Liberty Ch, reflecting the rural social organization of the era. Settlement patterns follow the winding course of the Broad River, where landmarks like Bat Cave and the Maxwell Mill are situated. Notable natural features such as Hickorynut Falls and The Cascades underscore the dramatic topography that defines the border between Henderson and Rutherford counties, where industry was largely limited to small-scale milling and mountain farming.
