1943 Map of Ketner Gap

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

The Cumberland Escarpment dominates this 1943 Tennessee Valley Authority survey, creating a sharp divide between the agricultural Sequatchie Valley and the high plateaus of the Prentice Cooper State Forest. Small settlements and rural institutions are concentrated along the base of the ridge, where the N C & St L RR and Alvin York Highway provided vital transport links. Local life centered around schools like Hicks Chapel Sch and Sulphur Springs Sch, and family burial grounds including Pickett Cem and Teague Cem. Strategic mountain crossings like Ketner Gap and Burnett Gap connect the valley to the rugged interior, while landmarks like the Airway Beacon and Lookout Tower reflect mid-century navigation and forestry management needs.
