About this map

The Tennessee Divide splits this landscape in Carroll County, where the Tennessee Valley Authority and USGS documented the rural terrain in the mid-1930s. Centered around Westport and Buena Vista, the area is defined by a dense network of watercourses like the Big Sandy River and Beaver Creek, many of which were managed through engineered features like Buck Ditch and other drainage channels. This period of transition shows a well-established community structure anchored by local institutions such as Williams Chapel, Smyrna Sch, and the Oak Grove Ch. The N C & St L RR provides the primary industrial spine through the region, connecting smaller junctions like Garrettsburg and Dollar. Genealogists will find a wealth of family history in the numerous burial grounds scattered across the ridges, including Cawthon Cem, Mc Callie Cem, and Jamison Cem.
