About this map

Yellow Creek and its many tributaries, such as Sevenmile Creek and Robinson Creek, define this 1935 landscape during a period of massive transformation. At the northeastern corner, the Proposed Pickwick Landing Reservoir (Elev 413) outline indicates the coming inundation of the Tennessee River valley. This advance sheet, compiled from aerial photographs by the Tennessee Valley Authority and the USGS, documents a dense network of rural infrastructure just before the landscape was altered by hydroelectric development.

The settlement of Doskie sits at a crossroads, surrounded by a high concentration of community centers including Mulberry Sch, Pleasant Grove Ch, and Barnes Chapel Sch. Genealogists will find a wealth of local landmarks such as Center Point Sch and Shady Grove Ch, alongside the State Line markers dividing Mississippi and Tennessee. The presence of numerous drainage ditches and the Transmission Line underscores the engineering efforts of the era to manage the regional watershed.
