About this map

Rockwood sits at the base of the Cumberland Escarpment, serving as the industrial and transportation anchor for this mid-1930s landscape. This survey, compiled from aerial photography by the Tennessee Valley Authority and USGS, reveals a rugged terrain where small rural institutions like Mt Pisgah Sch and Dry Hill Ch are tucked into the drainages of the Cumberland Plateau. The map documents a dense network of watercourses, including Grab Orchard Creek and Brushy Creek, which historically dictated the placement of early mountain roads and homesteads.
