1935 Map of Kykers Ferry

About this map

The French Broad River and Little Pigeon River dominate this 1935 survey of the Sevier and Jefferson county borderlands, shortly after the Tennessee Valley Authority began its transformative work in the region. The landscape is defined by river-dependent transportation and small agricultural hamlets, most notably at Kykers Ferry, Hodges Ferry, and Stokley Ferry, which provided critical crossings before modern bridging. In Dumplin Valley, early industry is marked by Cooks Mill and Dumplin Mill, while the social fabric of the era is preserved in the locations of French Broad Academy and rural schoolhouses like Union Grove Sch and Bailey Sch. High-voltage infrastructure, including the North Carolina and Tennessee Transmission Line, already carves across the hills near Catlettsburg, signaling the technological shifts occurring in this pocket of the Tennessee Valley.
