1956 Map of Billingsley Gap

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

The Cumberland Plateau drops sharply into the Sequatchie Valley on this mid-century survey of Bledsoe County. The landscape is defined by its dramatic relief, where features like Devils Racepath and Tom Hale Gulf mark the transition from the high, timbered Bledsoe State Forest down to the fertile river bottomlands. This topographic pattern dictated early Tennessee settlement, concentrating rural life along the corridor of the Sequatchie River and its numerous mountain-fed tributaries like Glade Creek and Thompson Creek.
