1935 Map of Mingo Mountains

USGS Topo · Published 1935

About this map

Cumberland Mountain dominates this 1935 survey, which details a rural stretch of Claiborne County during the early years of the Tennessee Valley Authority. This advance sheet highlights the sparse settlement patterns along the Poor Valley Ridge, where social life centered on institutions like the Powell Valley Sch and Mountain View Ch. The landscape is defined by the narrow corridors of Poor Valley Creek and the notable Van Babber Spring, which provided essential water sources for the scattered homesteads. Genealogists will find particular value in the identification of the Alexander Cem and the small community at Davis. The map also documents physical landmarks such as Carr Gap and the route of the State Highway, reflecting the connectivity of this Appalachian region before mid-century modernizations.
