1936 Map of Grove Oak

About this map

Guntersville Reservoir and its proposed extent dominate the northwest corner of this 1936 survey, prepared by the Tennessee Valley Authority as the regional landscape was being reshaped by dam projects. The map documents a dense network of rural infrastructure just before major modernization, centered on the settlement of Grove Oak. A high concentration of community centers is evident through labels for the Prospect Ch, Blackoak Ch, and New Harmony Ch, alongside numerous local schools like Piney Sch and Salem Sch. The terrain is defined by dramatic geography such as The Narrows and several named points including Bethune Point and Red Bud Point. To the south, Town Creek winds toward High Falls Bridge, while the northeastern corner shows the convergence of Middle Sauty Creek and Little Sauty Creek at the county line.
