1936 Map of Lexington
USGS Topo · Published 1936About this map
Lexington serves as the focal point of this 1936 survey, showing a concentrated rail and road hub just before the mid-century. The N C & St L railroad and lines like the St Louis and Nashville intersect here, illustrating the town's importance to West Tennessee transport. To the south, the CCC Camp No 496 TVA No 29 reflects New Deal-era infrastructure projects active in the Tennessee Valley. The landscape is defined by the Tennessee Divide Basin, with numerous rural institutions such as Bowling Chapel Antioch Sch and Reedy Grove Ch dotting the countryside. Water management is evident along the Beech River (Drainage Ditch), while small settlements like Bargerton and Timberlake anchor the outlying areas. Family history is preserved through scattered sites like Caffey Cem and Kizer Cem, providing a window into the settled community structure of the Depression era.
