1954 Map of Cherokee

About this map

The town of Cherokee anchors the southern portion of this landscape, situated along the Southern railroad line and U.S. Highway 72. Northward, the topography drops toward the wide waters of Pickwick Lake and the Tennessee River, where Kogers Island sits as a prominent landmass in the channel. This mid-century survey, updated in the late 1980s, reveals a rural fabric defined by family and community landmarks such as Monk Chapel, Moontown Ch, and Harris Chapel.
