About this map

The northern edge of Shelbyville and the farming community of Deason anchor this mid-1930s landscape, where the Tennessee Basin Divide cuts across the northeastern corner. The area is defined by a dense network of local institutions, including rural schools like Sulphur Springs Sch and McDale Sch, and educational landmarks such as Coops Academy and Bomar Academy. The presence of the County Farm near Horse Mtn reflects the social infrastructure of the Depression era, while the extensive reach of the Electric Membership Corporation Trans Line signals the early modernization of rural Tennessee.
