About this map

Fayetteville serves as the focal point of this 1936 survey, situated where the Nashville Chattanooga and St Louis Railway meets the Elk River. The map captures a transitional moment for Lincoln County, showing the heavy infrastructure of the Tennessee Electric Power Company Transmission Line and a CCC Camp TVA No 33 north of the river, reflecting Depression-era public works projects.

Rural life is densely documented through a network of family-named landmarks and local institutions, including the Icy Bank Sch and the Mimosa Sch. The landscape is etched with history via numerous small cemeteries like Harris Cem and Isom Cem, alongside the County Fair Grounds on the outskirts of the town. This detailed topographical study, coordinated by Arthur E. Morgan and Carl A. Bock for the Tennessee Valley Authority, provides a precise look at the settlements of Howell and Mimosa before modern expansion.
