1935 Map of Morgan Springs

About this map

Walden Ridge dominates this 1935 landscape, where the sharp drop of the Cumberland Escarpment separates the high plateau from the valley settlements below. The Tennessee Valley Authority, under Chairman Arthur E. Morgan, directed this survey during an era of significant regional infrastructure development, evident in the Tennessee Authority Transmission Line cutting across the terrain. Small community hubs like Morgan Springs and Morgantown are mapped alongside rural institutions such as Friendship Ch and Henderson Mill.
