About this map

The Cumberland Escarpment dominates this 1947 landscape, creating a sharp divide between the high plateau of Falls Creek Falls State Park and the low-lying Sequatchie Valley. This transition is marked by deep gorges known as gulfs, including Penitentiary Gulf and Rocky Gulf, which carve through the Tennessee Valley Divide. In the valley floor, the Nashville Chattanooga and St Louis railroad parallels the Sequatchie River, serving rural hubs like Lees Station and College Station.
