1936 Map of Barton

USGS Topo · Published 1936

About this map

Barton sits at the northern edge of this 1936 field examination, where the Southern Railway and Southern Highway No 72 parallel the Tennessee Valley Authority transmission lines. The landscape to the south transitions into the high ground of Sand Mountain and Mills Ridge, a territory defined by deep hollows and numerous springs that supported early 20th-century rural life. The presence of multiple burial grounds, including the New Newsom Spring Cem and Old Newsom Spring Cem near Newsom Spring Sch, suggests a community deeply rooted in the local geography of Sanderson Hollow and Buzzard Roost Creek. To the west, the isolated Mt Zion Ch and Stuarts Camp mark the pockets of settlement tucked between drainage systems like Asphalt Creek and Hamilton Creek, providing a detailed look at Colbert County before modern infrastructure reshaped these uplands.
