About this map

Clinch River meanders sharply through the Tennessee landscape on this 1941 survey, defining a topography of alternating ridges and fertile valleys. The region is characterized by parallel formations including Pine Ridge, Raccoon Ridge, and Beaver Ridge, which channel drainage into Beaver Creek and Turkey Creek. This era of development is marked by the presence of the Louisville and Nashville RR and early thoroughfares like Buttermilk Road and the Lee Highway.

Genealogists and local historians can locate many rural landmarks including Stony Point Ch, Marietta Ch, and the Estes Cem. The map provides a detailed look at community infrastructure before modern expansion, capturing locations like Gallaher Ferry at Cruickshank Bend, and numerous local schools such as Hardin Valley Sch and Snyder Sch. The landscape also features significant subterranean interests at Grand Caverns near the Anderson and Knox County line.
