1946 Map of Daus

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

The Cumberland Escarpment dominates this 1946 survey, defining a sharp geological divide between the high plateau and the valley floor where the Sequatchie River meanders south. This corridor is a landscape of established coal mining and small rural settlements, marked by numerous Strip Mine operations and the industrial presence of an Incline near the escarpment edge. The transportation network is anchored by the Louisville and Nashville railroad and the Alvin York Highway, which connect the town of Dunlap to smaller communities like Daus, Bryant, and Cartwright. Local life is meticulously documented through family-named landmarks and civic centers, including Thans Chapel Cem, Stone Cem, and the Center Point Sch. The map also captures the transition of the mid-century landscape with the inclusion of a Drive-In Theater and Substation near the river, reflecting the region's modernization.
