1936 Map of Camp Peay

About this map

Camp Peay and the National Guard Reservation occupy the highlands east of Tullahoma in this 1936 survey. The landscape is defined by the strategic intersection of the Nashville Chattanooga and St Louis Ry and a network of transmission lines, including the Ovoca Transmission Line and the Tennessee Electric Power Company Transmission Line. This era represents a period of significant regional development, marked by the presence of infrastructure like the Boyd Airport and the Girls Vocational Sch at Elsie. To the southeast, Estill Springs sits near the Elk River, while the surrounding countryside is dotted with small community landmarks like Rock Creek Ch, Pleasant Grove Ch, and the Unity Sch. The map reveals a transitioning rural economy, where traditional family cemeteries like Holt Cem and Gault Cem stand alongside the growing industrial and military footprint of the Tennessee Valley.
