1935 Map of Felker

About this map

The South Chestuee Creek and Chestuee Creek valleys dominate this portion of Bradley County, reflecting a landscape defined by small-scale rural communities during the mid-1930s. This advance sheet, compiled from early aerial photography by the Tennessee Valley Authority and the Geological Survey, reveals a network of local roads connecting essential social hubs such as Union Grove Ch and the uniquely named Kinsers Tabernacle. Educational and religious landmarks like Taylors Sch and Thompson Springs Ch serve as focal points for the surrounding farmsteads, while topographical markers such as McCann provide specific reference points for researchers. The drainage patterns of Papa Branch and Carson Creek illustrate the natural irrigation that supported this agricultural region before the large-scale changes of later decades.
