1946 Map of Grassy Cove

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

The remarkable limestone sinkhole of Grassy Cove dominates this Tennessee landscape, where the valley floor sits hundreds of feet below the surrounding peaks of Brady Mountain and Black Mountain. This geological karst feature is a self-contained basin where water drains into subterranean passages like Saltpeter Cave and Mill Cave rather than surface outlets. The 1946 field examination by the Tennessee Valley Authority records a network of rural life tied to these high-elevation valleys, including the small settlements of Alloway and Jewett.
