About this map

Tennessee Divide cuts across this mid-1930s landscape, marking the topographic boundary between the northern Basin and the southern drainage of North Fork Creek. This advance sheet, compiled from early aerial photography by the Tennessee Valley Authority and USGS, captures a rural intersection of education and infrastructure on the Rutherford and Bedford county line. Local landmarks like Keyes Chapel Sch and Guy Gap Sch serve as community anchors, while the Woodfin Cem reflects the deep-rooted family history of the area. The map illustrates the era's primary transport arteries, including U S Highway No 241 and the N C & St L railroad, which facilitated the movement of goods and people across the divide during the Depression years.
