1947 Map of Swearengin

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Guntersville Lake and the high tablelands of Gunters Mountain dominate this landscape on the Jackson and Marshall County line. The map captures a transition in the Tennessee Valley, where deep coves and hollows like Stillhouse Hollow and Woodall Hollow cut into the plateau. The settlement of Swearengin sits centrally among several community landmarks, including Oak Grove Church and the New Prospect School. To the north, the subterranean topography is notable, featuring Cathedral Caverns, Blowing Cave, and Saltpeter Cave. The shoreline of the Guntersville Reservation shows a developing recreational and utility landscape, with a Gaging Station and the Preston Cabin Site Area established along the water. Numerous small family or community cemeteries such as Zions Rest Cem and Maple Cem are scattered across the coves, providing a detailed record of the area's rural social geography.
