About this map

The Tennessee River Basin and the winding Divide between Alcorn County, Mississippi, and McNairy County, Tennessee, define this 1936 survey. The landscape is marked by a network of drainage systems, including Chambers Creek and Shoat Creek, which crisscross the hilly borderlands. Significant for genealogists, the map identifies several local landmarks such as Barnes Chapel, Fraley Chapel, and Jerusalem Ch, alongside early educational sites like Field Sch and Hopewell Sch.

Infrastructure in the mid-1930s is represented by the Illinois Central Southern railroad line and the route of U S Highway No 72. The Tennessee Valley Authority's influence is evident through the inclusion of an Electric Power Transmission Line cutting across the landscape. The settlement of Kendrick serves as a primary local hub in this rural area where state and county boundaries were still noted as indefinite in certain sections.
