1942 Map of Birchwood

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

Chickamauga Lake and the Hiwassee River dominate the northeastern corner of this landscape, reflecting the Tennessee Valley Authority’s recent transformation of the river system during the early 1940s. The terrain transitions from the water's edge through the Knobs and Burdette Ridge toward the prominent Whiteoak Mountain in the south. This era shows a distributed rural society organized around small crossroads like Birchwood, Brittsville, and Georgetown, where local life centered on numerous country churches and schools.
