1950 Map of Swearengin

USGS Topo · Published 1950

About this map

Gunters Mountain dominates this mid-century landscape in Northeast Alabama, rising sharply above the complex shoreline of the Guntersville Reservoir. The settlement of Swearengin sits atop the mountain ridge, surrounded by a high concentration of community landmarks including the New Prospect School, Oak Grove Church, and Prospect Church. The rugged topography is defined by deep coves and hollows named for early families, such as Chambless Hollow, Woodall Hollow, and John Law Hollow. Near the river, the map identifies specific recreational and historical footprints like the Preston Cabin Site Area and the South Sauty Point Cabin Site Area. Geologic features like Blowing Cave and Saltpeter Cave dot the slopes of Pine Mtn, while numerous cemeteries including Zions Rest Cem and McFarlane Cem provide essential data for tracing family roots in this rural Jackson and Marshall County borderland.
