1952 Map of Gobey

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

The Emory River winds through the heart of this Morgan County landscape, which was significantly shaped by the resource extraction and timber industries of the mid-20th century. Settlements like Gobey and Elizabeth are flanked by numerous hillsides marked with Strip Mines, particularly near Ross Gap and along the slopes of Maden Branch. The terrain is strictly partitioned by the Tennessee Divide, where waters flow north toward the Big South Fork or south into the Emory drainage system. Genealogists will find a wealth of specific local landmarks, including family-named sites such as McCartt Cemetery and Hamby Cemetery, alongside community centers like Macedonia Church. The presence of an Old Railroad Grade and sections of active Railroad following the riverbanks underscores the area's historical reliance on rail transport for moving coal and timber out of the Cumberland Mountains.
