1935 Map of Camp Austin

About this map

Wartburg serves as a primary hub in the northern portion of this 1935 survey, situated just beneath the rise of Bird Mountain. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Emory River and the complex terrain of the Cumberland Plateau, which includes The Love Plateau and Lone Mtn. Transportation is dominated by the Southern railroad line and a network of highways, including U S Highway No 27. The area's Depression-era development is evidenced by the presence of CCC Camp No 1463 near the river's bend. Rural community life is anchored by several small schoolhouses such as Piney Sch and Deermont Sch, along with Liberty Ch and Mossy Grove Ch, while resource extraction is noted by a Coal deposit near Camp Austin.
