1936 Map of Florence
USGS Topo · Published 1936About this map
The Tennessee River corridor undergoes a massive industrial and infrastructural transformation in this 1936 survey, dominated by the Proposed Pickwick Landing Reservoir. The city of Florence and the neighboring industrial hubs of Sheffield and Muscle Shoals are shown at a critical juncture, as the Tennessee Valley Authority establishes its presence with numerous TVA Transmission Lines and the TVA Central Offices. The map captures the social landscape of the Depression era, including the CCC Camp No 2426 and the Coffee Rosenwald School, reflecting both federal labor programs and the history of rural education.
