About this map

The mining and mountain settlements of Anderson County are captured in this 1936 survey, which documents the landscape just as the Tennessee Valley Authority began shaping the region. The map reveals the industrial heart of the area, centered on the Coal Creek valley and the surrounding ridges of Walden Ridge and Vowell Mountain. This era is marked by the presence of numerous small mining communities like Briceville, Fraterville, and Minersville, connected by a network of tramways and branches of the Southern Railway.
