1947 Map of Smartt Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1948

About this map

Cumberland Plateau terrain dominates this 1946 field examination, where the high tableland is deeply incised by the drainage of Piney Creek and Big Brush Creek. The survey captures the rural character of the border between Van Buren, Bledsoe, and Sequatchie Counties, where development followed the narrow valleys and ridges. Local life is anchored by landmarks like Bellview Ch and family burial grounds including Miller Cem and Walling Cem. Of particular interest to topographic historians is the complex drainage pattern where the Tennessee Valley and Robin Ridge Divide meet, creating significant features such as the Whiteoak Swamps and the prominent Jordan Rock House. The map shows a landscape defined by names like Smartt Mtn and Hitchcox Mtn, reflecting the early families who settled these highlands.
