About this map

The Tennessee Central railroad defines the human geography of this high Cumberland Plateau landscape, cutting a diagonal path through small settlements like Mayland and Campbell Junction. These communities, appearing as they did in the mid-1940s, are anchored by local landmarks such as the Welch Cem and Rains Cem, which offer significant value for genealogical research in this part of Tennessee.

The physical environment is dominated by the Tennessee Valley Divide, which separates the headwaters of various branches. Notable terrain features like Falls Stillhouse Rock and Funnel Rock punctuate the ridges, while Camp Nakanawa sits along the shores of Mayland Lake. The presence of Flat Rock Siding and The Cowpens suggests a rural economy tied to both the rail line and traditional upland land use patterns during this era.
