About this map

Collinwood serves as the primary hub for this 1936 survey of Wayne County, showing the intersection of the Louisville and Nashville and Tennessee and Alabama Railroad lines. This era depicts a landscape transitioning from rural isolation to a more connected infrastructure under the Tennessee Valley Authority, marked by the prominent Electric Power Transmission Line and a network of designated trails like T Tr A 104.

Education and local community centers are densely represented through numerous rural schoolhouses, including Millrock Sch and Daniel Sch, often situated along the winding creeks that define the topography. The terrain is dominated by the ridges and hollows surrounding the Green River and Shanatee Creek, with landmarks such as the Lookout Tower near McGlamerys Stand providing oversight of the heavily wooded surroundings. Small settlements like Yates and Starkey are positioned along the rail corridors, illustrating the economic reliance on timber and transit in this region of Tennessee.
