About this map

Wartburg serves as a primary settlement in this 1952 topographic study, situated where the Emory River bends through the Cumberland Mountains. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition between the Cumberland Plateau and steep peaks like Bird Mountain and Lone Mountain. Resource extraction is evident throughout the terrain, with several Strip Mines and a Reclaimed Strip Mine appearing near Crooked Fork.

Transport and institutional history are marked by the Southern railroad line winding along the riverbanks, connecting smaller nodes like Deermont and Camp Austin. Notable public land use is documented via the Brushy Mountain State Honor Farm and the Frozen Head State Environmental Education Area. Numerous family and community burial sites, including the Francis Cemetery and Mossy Grove Church Cemetery, offer valuable data for genealogists tracing local lineage in Morgan County.
