1936 Map of Fyffe

About this map

Sand Mountain dominates the landscape of this 1936 Tennessee Valley Authority and USGS survey, where rural life in the Depression era is marked by a dense network of country schools and churches. The upland terrain is carved by the deep drainage of South Sauty Creek and the notable Bucks Pocket area to the northwest. Settlement is concentrated around small hubs like Fyffe and Gibson Crossroads, with the geography defined by local landmarks such as Old Sauty Mill Bridge and the Lebanon Ford Bridge spanning Town Creek.
