1948 Map of Mud Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

The Cumberland Plateau dominates this Jackson County landscape, where the deeply incised valleys of the Mud Creek watershed meet the high, wooded benches of Crow Mountain. Settled communities such as Cornelison and Kyles occupy the lower elevations, while the plateau top is defined by features like Post Oak Flat and The Buzzard Roost. This 1948 survey, updated with 1975 revisions, captures a network of rural institutions including Skyline Sch, New Life Ch, and Holland Chapel, alongside numerous family burial grounds like Sanders Cem and Bynum Cem. The map reveals a land dictated by topography, where travel is funneled through passes like Moody Gap and development follows the floor of Maynard Cove. Natural landmarks like Blowing Cave and Flag Spring point to the karst geography underlying this portion of the Tennessee Valley Authority's mapping area.
