1935 Map of Melvine

USGS Topo · Published 1935

About this map

The Sequatchie River carves a deep valley through the heart of the Cumberland Plateau in this 1935 study, where small farming communities and family homesteads are concentrated along the water and the Alvin C York Highway. The settlement patterns of the mid-1930s are clearly visible, with central gathering places like Melvine and Litton serving as local hubs. This era shows a landscape dotted with rural educational and religious sites, such as Sunny Meadow Sch and Red Hill Ch, reflecting the self-contained nature of mountain life before widespread modernization. Numerous family-named cemeteries, including the Litton Cem and Walker Cem, underscore the deep-rooted genealogical history of the region. Steep ridges like Walden Ridge and distinctive gaps such as Beatty Gap defined the movement of people and trade through this part of Bledsoe County.
