1955 Map of Fairdealing

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Kentucky Lake dominates this mid-century landscape, a product of the Tennessee Valley Authority's massive transformation of the Tennessee River valley. The map documents the area during a period of transition into a recreation destination, anchored by Kenlake State Park and the Four Rivers Boy Scout Reservation. Near the Eggner Ferry Bridge, the community of Aurora features a drive-in theater and amphitheater, signaling the era's automotive tourism. Away from the shoreline, the traditional rural character of Marshall County persists in settlements like Fairdealing and small centers of community life such as the Jonathan School, Pleasant Hope Church, and Union Ridge Church. Numerous family burial sites, including Cap Spring Cem and Price Cem, remain as markers of the area's ancestral homesteads, some located near the Kentucky Lake Easement Boundary.
