1936 Map of Hogbell Gap

USGS Topo · Published 1936

About this map

Cumberland Mountains terrain dominates this 1936 advance sheet, where the Tennessee Basin Divide carves a jagged path across the plateau. This high-country landscape is defined by its deep hollows and prominent ridges, including Bird Mountain and Fork Mountain, which shaped the early movement and settlement patterns of this Tennessee region. The drainage network of the Emory River and its many tributaries, such as Loudon Creek and Dry Branch, illustrates the complex hydrology of the watershed before mid-century developments. Significant gaps in the ridgeline, notably Horseshoe Gap, Long Gap, and the eponymous Hogbell Gap, represent the critical natural passes used by locals. Aerial photography from the era captured the isolation of high-altitude landmarks like Bald Knob and The Garden Spot, providing a precise record of the tri-county boundary where Morgan, Scott, and Anderson counties meet.
