1936 Map of Sewanee

About this map

The University of the South and the Sewanee Military Academy form the institutional heart of this 1936 survey, perched atop the Cumberland Plateau where the academic architecture meets the dramatic rim rock of the Highland Rim. The map documents an era of transition as U.S. Highway No 64 and State Highway No 15 follow the ridges, while the Nashville Chattanooga and St Louis Railway utilizes the engineering feat of the Cowan Tunnel to pierce the mountain near Rockledge.
