1946 Map of Sewanee
USGS Topo · Published 1972About this map
The University of the South anchors this portion of the Cumberland Plateau, where academic and ecclesiastical life met the industrial demands of the mid-20th century. High atop the sandstone bluffs, the Sewanee Military Academy and St Andrews Sch stand near the town of Sewanee, overlooking a landscape defined by dramatic elevation changes. The Nashville Chattanooga and St Louis RR navigates this complex terrain by passing through the Cowan Tunnel beneath Tunnel Point, a critical engineering feat for North-South rail transport at the time.
