1946 Map of Kensington

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Chattanooga Valley and the steep eastern face of Lookout Mountain dominate this mid-century portrait of Walker County. The local economy and social fabric of the era are centered around the rail lines of the Tennessee Alabama and Georgia railroad and the town of Chickamauga, where the Gordon Lee Sch and Crawfish Spring Lake served as community focal points. The map documents a landscape of scattered rural settlements like Noble and Kensington, interspersed with numerous family-named burial grounds including Owings Cem, Bailey Cem, and Porter Cem. The presence of industrial and agricultural sites such as Hall Mill along with natural landmarks like Horseshoe Cave illustrates a period of transition, where traditional southern mountain farming and milling began to interface with modern infrastructure like the Scenic Highway.
