About this map

Lawrenceburg serves as the central hub for this 1936 survey, showing a dense grid of streets and residences at the junction of several major routes, including U S Highway No 64 and U S Highway No 43. The local infrastructure reflects a community in transition, with the Lawrenceburg Municipal Landing Field on the outskirts and multiple power facilities like Lawrenceburg Power Plant No 1 situated along the winding course of Shoal Creek.

Following the Louisville and Nashville Railroad south, the landscape reveals a series of smaller rural nodes such as Dunn, Leoma, and Antioch. These areas are anchored by essential local landmarks, including the Dunn Sch and several family-named burial grounds like Bumpass Cem and Lindsey Cem. The presence of numerous T V A Trans Lines cutting across the countryside underscores the regional influence of the Tennessee Valley Authority during the mid-1930s.
