1936 Map of Bishop

USGS Topo · Published 1936

About this map

Bear Creek meanders along the Mississippi Alabama state line, marking a landscape in transition as the Tennessee Valley Authority projects reshaped the region. This 1936 field examination documents the proposed extent of the Pickwick Landing Reservoir, tracing the future shoreline against existing settlements like Allsboro and Maud. The map captures a high density of rural social infrastructure, from the Natzhez Trace Monument to local centers of worship and education such as Becks Chapel, Cumberland Ch, and Mt Hester Sch. The terrain is defined by a complex network of named hollows, including Pounders Hollow and Bone Cave Hollow, which drain into the main creek system. Genealogists will find significant value in the detailed placement of family-linked landmarks like Burns Cem and Mt Zion Cem before modern infrastructure altered the local geography.
