1947 Map of Brockdell

USGS Topo · Published 1947

About this map

The Cumberland Escarpment dominates this 1940s landscape, creating a sharp geological boundary between the elevated plateaus and the deep Sequatchie Valley below. In the lower valley, the Nashville Chattanooga and St Louis Highway and the Sequatchie River follow the natural corridor through College Station and Lees Station. Genealogists will find several burial sites preserved on these slopes, including Rainey Cem and Dodson Cem, along with rural education landmarks such as Rebecca Sch and Pine Grove Sch. The northern portion of the map covers part of Falls Creek Falls State Park, characterized by complex drainage systems like Cane Creek and Devils Neck Creek. Small upland settlements like Brockdell are centered around local institutions like Brockdell Ch, illustrating the dispersed community structure typical of mid-century Tennessee.
