1946 Map of Daus

About this map

The Sequatchie Valley serves as a stark topographical corridor between the Cumberland Escarpment and Walden Ridge, showing a landscape defined by sharp elevation shifts and agricultural life along the Sequatchie River. In this mid-century period, small communities like Daus and Cartwright are linked by the Louisville and Nashville railroad and the Alvin C York Highway. The map reveals the area's resource-based economy and local genealogy through features such as the Strip Mine at Woodcock Gulf and numerous family burying grounds including Hatfield Cem and Cookston Cem. Cultural markers of the era appear in the form of the Drive-In Theater near Dunlap, while rural education and worship are anchored at sites like Center Point Sch and New Hope Ch.
