1936 Map of Belleville

USGS Topo · Published 1936

About this map

Elk River winds along the northern boundary of this 1936 survey, which documents the complex borderlands where Lincoln, Moore, Marshall, and Bedford counties meet. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition between the upland Elk Ridge and the dense network of hollows and creeks to the south, such as Cane Creek and Mulberry Creek. The Tennessee Valley Authority, under chairman Arthur E. Morgan, directed this field examination to record rural infrastructure, including early transmission lines from the Duck River Electric Membership Corp. Small communities like Belleville and Bledsoe serve as anchors for a territory rich in genealogy, featuring numerous country sanctuaries such as Hannah Gap Ch and family burying grounds like Foster Cem. The map reveals a pre-modern road system, centered on State Highway No 10, before later development altered these traditional drainage basins.
