1935 Map of Birchwood

About this map

The Hiwassee River snakes across the northern reaches of this territory, where the Russell Bridge facilitates passage near the settlement of Brittsville. Surveyed in the mid-1930s, the landscape is defined by the convergence of Hamilton, Meigs, and Bradley counties. Small rural communities like Birchwood and Georgetown serve as central hubs, connected by the early alignments of State Highway No 58 and State Highway No 60. The map is particularly dense with educational and religious landmarks, including the Clint Hill Sch and the Mt Zion Ch, illustrating the social fabric of these ridge-and-valley settlements.
