1956 Map of Vandever

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

The Tennessee Valley Divide snakes through this high country of the Cumberland Plateau, separating waters that flow toward the Tennessee River from those of the Sequatchie River. The landscape is a mix of small upland settlements like Vandever and New Era and the industrial-scale agricultural footprint of Grassland Farm. To the north, the waters of Harrison Lake and the Tansi Resort indicate the mid-century development of the area's recreational geography. Along the eastern escarpment, the map reveals the steep descent into the Sequatchie Valley via Morris Gap and Stephens Gap. The density of family-named cemeteries such as Hillcrest Cem and Musick Cem, alongside rural landmarks like Carding Machine Spring, provides a detailed record of the families who settled this high ground before modern highways fully integrated the plateau.
