1935 Map of East Cleveland

About this map

Tasso and the outlying districts of North Cleveland and East Cleveland appear here as they were during the mid-1930s, defined by a landscape of ridges and valleys. The Tennessee Electric Power Company Transmission Line and the Southern Railway slice through the terrain, illustrating the infrastructure of the Tennessee Valley Authority era. Local industry and rural life are well-documented, from the Barite Mine and several Quarries to Hauns Mill on Chatata Creek. The map provides a remarkable genealogical record, naming numerous community centers such as the Michigan Avenue Sch, Julian Chapel, and the CCC Camp No 3466. Notable family-named landmarks like McKenzie Spring and Richey Spring are scattered across Little Valley and Chatata Valley, highlighting the importance of natural water sources before widespread municipal expansion.
