USGS Topo · Published 1936About this map
Industrial activity and rural settlement define this 1930s landscape on the Cumberland Plateau as the region's coal and timber resources were actively being tapped. The town of Palmer serves as a primary hub, situated where the Nc & St L Rr meets specialized industrial lines like the Sewanee Fuel and Iron Co and several narrow gage rail segments. These tracks snake through the terrain to reach sites like Clifty Mines, illustrating the extraction-driven economy of the era.
