1936 Map of Jones Knob

USGS Topo · Published 1936

About this map

Cumberland Plateau terrain dominates this 1936 advance sheet, where the network of the Tennessee Basin is defined by deeply incised watercourses like Clear Creek and Bucklick Creek. This survey, a collaboration between the Tennessee Valley Authority and the USGS, documents a landscape prior to major modernization, characterized by isolated rural institutions and river crossings. Essential community points such as Jones Sch and Cold Spring Sch appear alongside numerous family-named landmarks and water sources, including Boiling Spring, Houston Spring, and Sulphur Spring. The reliance on local river navigation and transport is evident through several documented crossings, specifically Jones Ford, Turner Ford, and Ashburn Ford. These points of transit, often located where branches like Myatt Creek or Glade Branch meet the main stem, illustrate the localized movement patterns of residents in Fentress, Morgan, and Cumberland counties during the mid-1930s.
