1942 Map of South Pittsburg

About this map

South Pittsburg serves as the industrial and social anchor of this valley landscape, positioned along the western bank of the Tennessee River. The 1942 field examination captures the area as the Guntersville Lake waters reached their modern extent, with the Reservation Boundary clearly marking protected shorelines. The town's grid is dense with development, including the Lodge Point landmark and connections to nearby Raulstontown. To the north and west, the terrain rises sharply toward the Cumberland Plateau, where steep bluffs like Fullerton Bluff overlook winding waterways.
