About this map

Bays Mountain and Chimney Top Mountain dominate this mid-1930s landscape, where rural life is defined by tight-knit mountain communities and early industrial infrastructure. The presence of the Eastman Corporation Transmission Line and its corresponding service road through the ridges indicates the growing reach of regional industry. Below the heights, the terrain is dotted with centers of local gathering such as Solomon Temple Ch and Goshen.

Logistics and labor are evident at Dykes Mill and the Light Mill along the watercourses, while an Airway Beacon on Chimney Top Mountain marks the modernization of mid-century navigation. For genealogists, the map is particularly rich with small schoolhouses like Oak Glen Sch and Pyborn Sch, alongside several church-affiliated cemeteries that preserve the names and locations of early families across the Hawkins and Sullivan county lines.
