About this map

The Tennessee Basin Divide acts as a topographical boundary in this Tennessee Valley Authority study, separating the lower basin from the rising Barren Plateau and Cumberland Plateau. Near the settlement of Hillsboro, the landscape is defined by a network of rural institutions and family-named landmarks including Cunningham Cem, Gentry Cem, and Somonia Sch. The presence of Cumberland Academy and Winton Town further north illustrates the educational and social centers serving the agrarian community during the mid-1930s.
