About this map

Dandridge sits along the northern bank of the French Broad River, serving as a focal point for this 1935 survey conducted by the Tennessee Valley Authority and the U.S. Geological Survey. The landscape is defined by the sharp ridges of the Bays Mountains and the agricultural pocket of Honeycut Valley, where small rural communities are connected by early routes like State Highway No 92.

Evidence of established community life is found in the numerous country churches and schools dotting the countryside, including Wesley Chapel, Mountain View Ch, and the Schrader Sch. Further north, Jefferson City appears at the edge of the sheet near Mossy Creek. The presence of the County Farm and a Gaging Station on the river indicates the early infrastructure and institutional development of Jefferson County during the mid-1930s.
