1947 Map of Duncan Flats

About this map

The winding New River carves a deep valley through the high ridges of the Cumberland Mountains, dividing Campbell, Anderson, and Scott Counties. In the late 1940s, this landscape was defined by remote mountain settlements and industrial camps, such as Clinchmore and Gennett Camp, connected by steep grades and an incline. The map documents a scattered social fabric of mountain schools like Redoak Gap Sch and Mountain Home Sch, alongside numerous family burial grounds including Ben Phillips Cem and the Ward Cem. Near the confluence of Beech Fork Tennessee River and the main river, the terrain rises sharply toward Smoky Mountain and Buffalo Mountain. These peaks and gaps, such as Lowe Gap and Brier Gap, dictate the winding paths of local life between the isolated hollows of Duncan Flats and Liza Flats.
