1946 Map of Pilot Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1947

About this map

The Southern Railroad winds through the eastern valley of Morgan County, following the base of Buck Ridge and passing the settlement of Sunbright. This 1940s topography, derived from aerial photographs and field examinations by the Tennessee Valley Authority, illustrates a landscape transitioning from resource extraction to managed infrastructure. Evidence of energy exploration is visible in Oil Wells Hollow and at several scattered Oil Well sites, while the presence of an Abandoned Tunnel north of Annadel speaks to the evolution of the rail line.
