1946 Map of Mount Airy

USGS Topo · Published 1991

About this map

The Sequatchie River carves a deep valley between the Cumberland Yellow Cliff Escarpment and the high flats of Walden Ridge. This landscape, centered around the settlement of Mount Airy, reflects a post-war rural economy transitioning into the late 20th century, with original 1946 topography supplemented by later updates to the road network, including the Alvin C York Highway. The valley floor is dotted with small family and community anchors such as Pope Cem, Ebenezer Ch, and Stephen Chapel. Near the southern boundary, the town of Dunlap serves as a local hub where Brush Cr meets the river. Evidence of the region's industrial ties appears in several Strip Mines on the northern ridges and an Old Railroad Grade that speaks to earlier timber or coal transport routes that once defined these mountainsides.
