1947 Map of Swearengin

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

Swearengin and Grant anchor this 1947 study of the mountainous border between Jackson and Marshall counties, just after the Tennessee River was transformed into Guntersville Lake. The map reveals a landscape defined by deep coves and ridges, where isolated settlements are connected by rural roads winding through Kennamer Cove and Pisgah Cove. Geologic interest is high here, with notable landmarks like Cathedral Caverns, Blowing Cave, and Saltpeter Cave documented alongside family-named landmarks like Uncle George McLean Point. Cultural life is marked by a high density of country churches and schools, including Oak Grove Church, Beulah Ch, and the New Prospect School. The presence of the Oar Reservation and multiple cemeteries like Zions Rest Cem and Mc Camy Cem provide essential data for local historians and genealogists tracking family plots in this river valley region.
