1950 Map of Guntersville Dam

USGS Topo · Published 1950

About this map

Guntersville Dam anchors this post-war landscape where the Tennessee River broadens into the Wheeler Reservoir. The geography is defined by deep coves and prominent ridges, including Pea Ridge Mountain and Georgia Mountain, which separate small farming communities and family-named homesteads. The transition of the river into a reservoir system is evidenced by the presence of river mile markers and the N C & St L Ry Ferry crossing near Parches Cove. Local life is recorded through numerous small institutions, from Sweet Home Church and Union Chapel Church to the rural Mobbs School. Along the water's edge, industrial and navigational sites like Neighbors Mill and gaging stations reflect the early management of the river valley. The map also traces a network of family cemeteries, such as Patterson Cem and Boggess Cem, providing a detailed record for genealogists researching the residents of Marshall County and Madison County.
