1942 Map of Bristol Springs

About this map

Gannett Hill and the dramatic ridge lines of South Bristol dominate this landscape, which was mapped during the early 1940s by the Tennessee Valley Authority for the Corps of Engineers. The area is characterized by deep ravines and steep slopes, most notably Briggs Gully and the unique landmark known as The Jumpoff. Settlement is concentrated at road intersections such as Boswell Corners, Semans Corners, and Brown Stand Corners, reflecting a rural economy tied to the land and the Lehigh Valley railroad corridor in the southeast.
