About this map

Tracy City serves as the focal point of this mid-century survey, illustrating a community defined by its industrial roots on the Cumberland Plateau. The landscape is heavily marked by energy extraction, featuring multiple Strip Mines and an Oil Well near the northern divide. The N C & S T L railroad network winds through the terrain, connecting industrial sites with residential clusters like Coalmont and Gruetli.

Social and civic life is anchored by numerous rural institutions, including the Freemont Sch, Mt Vernon Sch, and St Bernard Church. To the south, the natural environment transitions into the protected lands of Grundy Lakes State Park and Grundy State Forest. Significant topographical features like Luchsinger Gap and the deep incision of Gulf Sewanee Creek demonstrate the complex geography of the Grundy and Marion County border region.
