1946 Map of Petros
USGS Topo · Published 1947About this map
Brushy Mountain State Prison sits at the head of a narrow valley, illustrating the isolated geography of the Cumberland Plateau in the years following World War II. The settlement of Petros serves as the focal point for this rugged terrain, where the extraction of natural resources is evident in the presence of Coalfield Camp No 1 and Coalfield Camp No 2. This era shows a landscape transitioning between remote wilderness and industrial labor, with the Southern RR skirting the southern ridges while steep topography like Frozen Head Mountain remains largely undeveloped.
