1936 Map of Crossland

About this map

Tennessee Basin dominates the northern edge of this localized study, where the Divide marks a significant hydrological boundary in Henry County. Surveyed under the leadership of Arthur E. Morgan and Carl A. Bock for the Tennessee Valley Authority, this advance sheet focuses on the immediate vicinity of the Crossland settlement. The landscape is characterized by its drainage patterns, specifically a prominent Ditch that feeds toward the basin, reflecting the early hydrological management of the region. Local community life is anchored by the Oak Grove Ch, situated near the network of country roads that connect these upland farms. As an advance sheet subject to correction, the map preserves a primary data set from aerial photography and field examination conducted in the mid-1930s, offering a specific look at the rural infrastructure before significant mid-century changes.
