1914 Map of Iuka

About this map

Tennessee River waters dominate the northern reaches of this landscape, where the borders of Tennessee, Alabama, and Mississippi converge. Before the mid-century damming of the river, the waterway was defined by numerous commercial points such as Hubbard Landing, Cook Landing, and Shellbank Landing, which served as vital connections for the local economy. The southern half of the map centers on the town of Iuka, a hub on the Southern Railway surrounded by a network of rural schools and family-named landmarks.
