1938 Map of Doe

About this map

High mountain ridges and narrow creek valleys define this northeast Tennessee landscape during the late 1930s, featuring the intersection of Carter and Johnson counties. The Appalachian Trail follows the spine of the Iron Mountains, while a Dismantled Railroad traces a winding path along Doe Creek through the southern half of the quadrangle. This industrial footprint, paired with the remote location of settlements like Pandora and Doeville, suggests a transition from timber and rail extraction to the more conservation-focused era of the Cherokee National Forest.
