USGS Topo · Published 1895About this map
Cowan Tunnel and the winding rails of the St. Louis and Nashville Chattanooga RR define the industrial and transport character of this Cumberland Plateau landscape. The map captures a period where the plateau's dramatic topography dictated the reach of commerce, from the iron works at South Pittsburg to the remote settlements of Altamont and Beersheba Springs. The Sequatchie River valley provides a stark contrast to the plateau's deep coves, such as Jump Off Cove and Sweden Cove.
