1947 Map of Eureka

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

The Tennessee Alabama state line bisects this 1947 landscape, where the ridges of Little Coon Mountain and the water of Guntersville Lake define the terrain. The Louisville and Nashville railroad runs through the Crow Creek valley, connecting small communities like Anderson and Gonce. A high density of family burial grounds, including Jacoway Cem, McCrary Cem, and Allison Cem, points to the deep generational ties of the families farming these valleys. The map reveals a rural economy structured around crossroads like Biscoe Store and the John Sumach Reservation, while the New Hope Church and Helton Memorial Church serve as centers of community life. This survey, photorevised in the 1970s, preserves the early 20th-century road network and the distinct agricultural pockets found in Little Coon Valley and Hicks Cove.
