1938 Map of Carter

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

Holston Mountain and the Iron Mountains dominate this landscape on the border of Sullivan and Carter Counties. The 1938 fieldwork, updated with 1969 aerial data, shows a region defined by steep ridges and narrow hollows where settlements like Buladeen and Carter are tucked along the winding path of Stony Creek. The map records a rural social fabric of small schoolhouses and country churches, including Midway Sch and Holly Springs Ch. Industry is represented by the Stoutson Quarry and evidence of previous activity at Strip Mine Ridge. As the terrain rises toward Holston High Knob, the vast acreage of the Cherokee National Forest and the Kettlefoot Wildlife Management Area illustrate the transition from valley agriculture to protected mountain wilderness, while the presence of South Holston Lake in the northwest corner marks the impact of TVA water management.
