1950 Map of Obey City

USGS Topo · Published 1950

About this map

The Cumberland Plateau defines this mid-century landscape in Overton County, characterized by a complex network of ridges and hollows that historically dictated settlement patterns. The Tennessee Central railroad cuts through the center of the sheet, connecting industrial outposts like Obey City and Cliff Springs. This transportation corridor was vital for the region's extraction and timber economies, as evidenced by the numerous hollows named for specific local camps and resources, such as Sunk Mill Hollow and Peachstone Camp Hollow.
