1947 Map of Cedar Grove

USGS Topo · Published 1947

About this map

McLemore Cove defines the central topography of this 1946 field-examined landscape, where agricultural settlements are concentrated between the high elevations of Lookout Mountain and Pigeon Mountain. The survey reveals a community organized around family names and rural institutions, particularly near Cedar Grove, which serves as a local hub with its own church and multiple cemeteries. The western slopes are characterized by numerous deeply cut drainages known as gulfs, including Tatum Gulf and McKaig Gulf, illustrating the sharp descent from the plateau into the Tennessee Valley. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family-named burial grounds such as Thurman Cem and Anderson Cem, as well as the proximity of small settlements like Masseyville and Moore. This map documents a period before modern development, capturing the original road networks and the location of isolated churches like Antioch Ch and Mt Carmel Ch that anchored these upland communities.
