1949 Map of Isoline

USGS Topo · Published 1949

About this map

The Alvin York Highway serves as the central artery through this portion of the Cumberland Plateau, tracing a north-south path through a landscape defined by deeply incised drainage systems like How Come You Creek and Drowning Creek. Small communities and family hubs are scattered throughout the territory, from the rail-adjacent Creston near the Tennessee Central line to the named settlement at Isoline. Local genealogy is well-preserved through numerous small burial grounds such as Terrell Cem, Tate Cem, and Dixon Cem. The presence of several schools, including Tabor Sch and Bowman Sch, alongside landmarks like the Lookout Tower atop Big Hill, suggests a well-distributed rural population in the late 1940s. The southeastern corner of the map reveals the winding course of the Obed River, featuring the distinctive Gould Bend and Parker Ford.
