1947 Map of White City

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

Cumberland Mountain dominates this landscape along the border of Grundy and Marion Counties, where the deep carvings of the Fiery Gizzard Cove and Indian Cove create a dramatic topography of points and ridges. The map captures a post-war rural environment transitioning between timber, mining, and agriculture. Small settlements like White City and Oak Grove are situated on the higher plateau, while family-named landmarks such as Sides Place and Pyburn Place mark the scattered habitation of the valley floors. Evidence of industrial activity is present in the Strip Mines located near Robinson Cove, showing how the land was being worked during the mid-20th century. Local landmarks like the Foster Falls Sch and Gregg Cem provide vital touchpoints for genealogists researching family ties in this pocket of the Tennessee mountains.
