1947 Map of Durham

USGS Topo · Published 1947

About this map

Lookout Mountain dominates the western half of this 1946 survey, its high plateau defined by the dramatic incision of Sitton Gulch within Cloudland Canyon State Park. The landscape transition is sharp, falling away from the mountain's steep eastern escarpment into the agricultural breadth of Chattanooga Valley. Small rural communities and post offices like Durham and Thompsonville are connected by the Lookout Mountain Scenic Highway, while the valley floor below is home to Cassandra and Cooper Heights.
