1942 Map of South Pittsburg
USGS Topo · Published 1966About this map
The Tennessee River corridor at the edge of the Cumberland Plateau reveals a landscape defined by sharp elevation changes and early twentieth-century infrastructure. Industrial and residential clusters at South Pittsburg and Hamburg are situated near the riverbanks, while the Nashville Chattanooga & St Louis railway and the historic Dixie Highway facilitate movement through the valley. This 1942 field examination by the Tennessee Valley Authority shows the recently formed Guntersville Lake and its effect on the local terrain, including the partial isolation of Burns Island.
