1946 Map of Lancing

USGS Topo · Published 1948

About this map

The confluence of the Obed River and Emory River anchors this 1940s landscape, illustrating a rugged section of the Cumberland Plateau before modern development encroached. The Southern railroad line skirts the northern and eastern edges of the terrain, connecting the settlement of Lancing to the broader regional economy. Deep within the winding river valleys and along the ridges of Hatfield Mountain, the map reveals the sparse human imprint of the era, from the isolated Catoosa settlement to the historic Howard Mill site on Clear Creek. Local genealogy and land-use patterns are evident in the placement of the Kubly Cem and Nelson Cem, as well as the numerous named watercourses like White Horse Creek and Crab Orchard Creek that drain the high reaches of the Crab Orchard Mountains.
