1935 Map of Howard Quarter

USGS Topo · Published 1935

About this map

Norris Reservoir dominates the drainage of the Clinch River in this 1935 survey, reflecting the early landscape transformations of the Tennessee Valley Authority. This topographic record captures the transition of the Caney Valley and Indian Creek Valley as the water rose, featuring the Evans Ferry Bridge and a Gaging Station along the winding river course. The map is exceptionally rich for genealogists, documenting a dense network of mountain schools and churches like the Baylor Consolidated Sch, St Elmo Ch, and Ritchey Sch. The presence of CCC Camp No 27 highlights the New Deal-era labor activity in the area between Powell Mountain and Newman Ridge, while the placement of Turner Cem and several community schools preserves the footprint of rural Claiborne County before further twentieth-century modernization.
