1952 Map of Lancing

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

Lancing sits as the primary settlement on the Obed River Plateau in this mid-century survey of Morgan County. The landscape is defined by the deep, winding incisions of the Obed River and Emory River, where historical river crossings like Alley Ford and Lilly Bridge once connected isolated highland communities. Significant local industry and land use are evidenced by Coal extraction points and the extensive Catoosa Wildlife Management Area, which occupies much of the southern terrain across Hatfield Mountain. Genealogists will find a wealth of family-named landmarks including the Howard, Kubly, and Hamby burial grounds, alongside rural landmarks like Howard Mill and the Clear Creek Church. The Southern railroad line cuts through the northeast, providing a vital transport link for the timber and mineral resources of the Cumberland Mountains.
