1936 Map of Farmington
USGS Topo · Published 1936About this map
Farmington anchors the southern portion of this topographic study, situated at a junction where local commerce and infrastructure began to expand in the mid-1930s. The landscape is defined by the Tennessee Basin Divide, which separates the drainage systems of the region, notably influencing the paths of waterways like Panther Creek. The map records a rural network of social and educational hubs, including Smyrna Ch, New Liberty Ch, and the Cope Sch. An early industrial footprint is visible through the KY TENN LT & PWR CO Trans Line, marking the arrival of modern utilities to this part of Graves County. This survey, conducted by the Tennessee Valley Authority and the USGS, captures the transition of the Kentucky countryside as it integrated into the broader regional power and transportation grids.
