About this map

Cornersville serves as the primary hub in this mid-1930s survey, where State Highway No 11 meets the Louisville and Nashville rail line. The landscape is defined by the drainage basins of Richland Creek, Bradshaw Creek, and Swan Creek, with the prominent Elk Ridge cutting across the northern section. This era captures the rural development of southern Marshall County, including small agrarian communities like Graball, Diana, and Ostella.

Social landmarks are distributed throughout the hollows and hills, including the Gnat Grove Sch, the Richland Ch, and a County Farm near the northern boundary. The infrastructure of the Tennessee Electric Power Co Transmission Line signals the expansion of utility networks across the region during this period of Tennessee Valley development. Local history is further preserved through numerous family-named landmarks such as Coleman Hill, Creesy Hollow, and Walker Hollow.
