About this map

Lookout Mountain dominates the landscape of DeKalb County in this mid-1930s survey, defining the high ground above the Tennessee Basin Divide. The settlement at Violet Hill, centered around the Violet Hill Ch, provides a clear view of the rural upland life before significant mid-century infrastructure changed the mountain's character.

Transport through the valley follows the natural corridors carved by the West Fork Lookout Creek and East Fork Lookout Creek. The early alignment of State Hy No 11 and State Hy No 7 indicates the primary travel routes through the plateau and Dugout Valley during the Great Depression. The map preserves precise bench marks like BM 1015, which serve as vital reference points for surveyors and local historians tracking the physical evolution of the High Point area.
