1939 Map of Burem

About this map

Hickory Cove Valley and the surrounding Tennessee hills define this 1939 survey, capturing a rural landscape transitioning between traditional agrarian life and the infrastructure improvements of the early twentieth century. The community of Rogersville serves as the local anchor in the southwest, while the Holston River meanders through the heart of the terrain, framing Burem Island and Miller Island. A remarkable natural curiosity, the Ebbing and Flowing Spring, is documented near the riverbank, an area also served by the Southern railroad and the Burem Bridge.
