1936 Map of Melber
USGS Topo · Published 1936About this map
The boundary between McCracken Co and Graves Co runs through a landscape defined by depression-era agricultural engineering and early transport networks. Surveyed by the Tennessee Valley Authority and the U.S. Geological Survey, this map reveals a sophisticated water management system exemplified by the Blizzard Bottoms Drainage Ditch and Gem Drainage Ditch. These artificial channels, combined with natural flows like Gamp Creek, were vital to the local farming economy during the mid-1930s.
