About this map

Iuka serves as the central hub of this 1935 survey by the Tennessee Valley Authority, which illustrates the intersection of early regional infrastructure and long-standing rural communities. The map highlights the high point of Woodall Mtn and a dense network of country schools and churches, such as Snowdown Sch, Bennett Sch, and Rocky Spring Ch, that anchored local life before the modern era.

Industrial and transport patterns of the mid-1930s are evident in the path of the Southern Railway and the presence of the Gravel Pit at Gravel Siding. The landscape is etched with numerous named drainages like Indian Creek and Pennywinkle Creek, while the emergence of modern utility is seen in the Tennessee Valley Authority Transmission Line cutting across the terrain. Small settlements such as Oldham and a designated Landing Field further reflect the region's development during this period.
