1949 Map of Dorton

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

Cumberland Homesteads defines the lower half of this survey, showcasing a unique New Deal-era planned community. The landscape is marked by public works and social infrastructure, including the Homestead Sch, Homestead Cem, and the waters of Byrd Lake within Cumberland State Park. Transportation serves as a central theme, with the Tennessee Central Railroad and the Broadway of America cutting through the center of the quadrangle. North of the rail line, the terrain transitions into the ridges of Chestnut Oak Ridge and Hyder Ridge. Small rural nodes like Dorton and Crab Orchard provide evidence of early mid-century Appalachian settlement, while the winding course of Daddys Creek and its many branches like Muddy Br illustrate the complex drainage patterns of the Cumberland Plateau.
