1936 Map of Kensington

USGS Topo · Published 1936

About this map

Chickamauga and the surrounding Walker County countryside are captured here in 1936, just as the Tennessee Valley Authority was actively surveying the region's complex topography. The map reveals a landscape defined by significant ridges like Missionary Ridge and the heights of Pigeon Mountain, which drop into the Blue Basin. Industrial and infrastructure development of the era is evident in the presence of the Tennessee Power Company Transmission Line and a series of flumes. Local life centers on rural nodes such as Pond Spring and Kensington, supported by neighborhood institutions like the Oak Grove Sch, Bethel Ch, and the Hill Mill. The drainage of West Chickamauga Creek and its many branches provides a detailed look at the water sources that dictated the placement of early homesteads and cemeteries like Lawrence Cem.
