About this map

Coahulla Creek and Sugar Creek carve through this section of the Tennessee Valley, framing a landscape defined by small agrarian communities and a dense network of country congregations. In 1946, these valleys supported numerous local institutions, including Boanerges Ch and the Kinser Tabernacle in the north. The geography is physically divided by the Tennessee Valley Divide, which separates the drainages of Chestuee Creek from the westward-flowing streams.

Smaller crossroads like Pumpkin Center and Felker serve as local anchors alongside several named schoolhouses such as Wooten Sch and Liberty Sch. The presence of the Cleveland Filtration Plant near Waterville in the northwest indicates the growing infrastructure needs of nearby population centers during the post-war era. For genealogists, the map provides precise locations for family-named landmarks and centers of worship like Moores Chapel and Zion Hill Ch.
