About this map

The Cumberland Plateau landscape is captured here in an early state-federal collaboration between the Tennessee Valley Authority and the Geological Survey. The settlement of Campbell Junction serves as the focal point for regional transportation, situated where the Tennessee Central rail corridor meets the Tennessee State Highway No 70. The map documents a critical moment of modernization as the U S Electric Power Transmission Line cuts through the terrain, illustrating the infrastructure expansion that defined this era in Tennessee history.

Waterways like Panther Creek and Ganey Fork drain the plateau, crossing the prominent Tennessee Basin Divide. Local transit routes such as Pomona Road and No 24 provide insight into the rural road network connecting dispersed homesteads. Benchmarks like B M 1959 and B M 1917 provide precise elevation data for the area's crests and valleys, while smaller branches like Poplar Branch and Gum Branch detail the intricate drainage patterns of the plateau's eastern slopes.
