1947 Map of Burrow Cove

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

The Cumberland Plateau drops sharply into the deep recesses of Burrow Cove and Payne Cove in this 1947 study of the Tennessee highlands. The landscape is defined by its dramatic geology, featuring subterranean landmarks like Wonder Cave, Big Mouth Cave, and Saltpeter Cave along the base of the ridges. Near the southern edge, the industrial presence of Tracy City stands in contrast to the rural settlements of Piedmont and Summerfield, where the Seaboard rail line and the Dixie Highway provided vital transportation links for the region's early 20th-century economy.
