1946 Map of Mount Airy

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

The Sequatchie River valley defines this landscape, hemmed in by the dramatic rising wall of the Cumberland Escarpment to the west. This mid-century view, updated with late-1960s photography, shows a rural Tennessee corridor anchored by the settlement of Mount Airy. Transportation is a central theme, as the Taft Highway and the Louisville and Nashville railroad tracks parallel the river's course, connecting the farming communities of Ewtonville and Welch to the broader region. Small country institutions like the Bethlehem Ch and Mount Airy Sch are scattered throughout the valley floor, alongside family-named landmarks such as the Collier Cem and M. Williams Road. The terrain transition is sharp, moving from the level agricultural fields near Brush Cr to high points like Buck Knob and Hixson Gap on the eastern ridges.
