1936 Map of Dickson
USGS Topo · Published 1936About this map
Dickson serves as the focal point of this 1936 survey, where the Nashville Chattanooga and St Louis Ry and the Louisville and Nashville RR intersect to form a vital transportation hub. The surrounding landscape is defined by the Piney River and the East Fork Piney River, with numerous small hollows like Fielder Hollow and Moore Hollow feeding into the drainage system. This era reveals a densely populated rural backcountry, evidenced by a high concentration of family cemeteries and community centers, including Edwards Cem, England Cem, and Sullivan Cem. Educational and spiritual life is anchored by scattered landmarks such as Eno Sch, Water Valley Sch, and Bethel Ch, while the industrial expansion of the mid-1930s is represented by multiple high-voltage transmission lines crossing the terrain.
