1942 Map of South Pittsburg

About this map

The Tennessee River winds through the heart of this valley, marking a landscape defined by the towering heights of the Cumberland Plateau to the north and the industrial and residential hubs along its banks. The river, expanded here into Guntersville Lake, creates a broad waterway surrounding Burns Island and leading toward the Sequatchie River confluence. The development of Jasper and South Pittsburg is clearly charted, with the latter showing a dense street grid near Lodge Point and the neighborhood of Hamburg.
