About this map

The Tennessee River corridor along the border of Calloway and Stewart counties is captured here in 1936, just as the Tennessee Valley Authority began its monumental transformation of the region's landscape. This survey documents the river before the impoundment of Kentucky Lake, revealing a network of landings such as Murray Landing, Thomas Landing, and Pine Bluff Landing that once served as vital commerce points for the local agrarian economy. The interior is dotted with community centers including Blood River Ch and numerous family-named landmarks like Laster Cem and Mc Guiston Cem. Near the southern boundary, the site of Civil War history is preserved at Fort Henry and Fort Heiman, providing a clear look at the topography surrounding these strategic river fortifications. The map also details the rugged upland areas of Coaling Land and the various rural schoolhouses like Sandstone Sch that anchored these remote settlements.
