1946 Map of Brayton

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

Walden Ridge dominates this mid-century topographic survey, where the dramatic rise of the Cumberland Escarpment defines the western edge of the landscape. Settlements like Brayton and Hendon are shown alongside smaller family-named clusters such as Smithtown and Hickory Grove, reflecting the rural habitation patterns of the post-war era in Bledsoe County. The terrain is deeply incised by a network of drainage features, including the notable McGill Gulf and numerous branches like Rattlesnake Hollow and Suzanne Branch. Local landmarks of historical interest include the Hendon Cem and a Lookout Tower positioned for forest surveillance. The presence of Brayton Ch and Hart Spring provides a look at the community hubs and water sources that sustained these upland communities before modernization reshaped the region's infrastructure.
