1947 Map of Brayton

USGS Topo · Published 1947

About this map

Walden Ridge dominates this 1947 topographical landscape, where the plateau surface meets the dramatic drop of the Cumberland Escarpment. Small upland settlements and rural gathering places like Brayton, Smithtown, and Hickory Grove are connected by winding mountain roads and gaps in the ridge. Evidence of local life is found at Brayton Ch and the Hendon Cem near the community of Hendon. The terrain is deeply dissected by a dense network of watercourses, including Rock Creek and Roaring Creek, which have carved out notable landforms such as Turkey Hollow and Coalbank Hollow. A prominent Lookout Tower stands as a sentinel over the plateau, while names like Ferry Creek and Shingle Mill Hollow suggest the historical importance of waterway crossings and early timber industries in this corner of the Cumberland Plateau.
