1936 Map of Fredonia

About this map

The Tennessee Basin Divide cuts across this 1930s landscape, separating the intricate drainage of the Duck River from the surrounding uplands. Local life is centered around small rural hubs like Fredonia and Holly, while the agrarian economy is reflected in the numerous schools and churches scattered across the terrain. Education was clearly a priority for these remote communities, as evidenced by specialized sites like Maple Springs Sch, Mud Creek Sch, and the Patmos Chapel Sch.
