About this map

The Elk River winds through the southern portion of this landscape, its course marked by the Shiloh Bridge and Dickey Bridge during this 1936 survey. The village of Mulberry serves as a central hub, situated where the West Fork and East Fork converge to form Mulberry Creek. This area, straddling the border of Lincoln Co and Moore Co, reveals a rural economy tied closely to its waterways and early transportation routes, including the Nashville Chattanooga and St Louis Railway passing through Kelso.

Family-named landmarks and local institutions are scattered across the valley, such as Lockes Mill and the Crystal Ridge Sch near Crystal Ridge. Several small cemeteries, including Cowley Cem and Mulberry Cem, provide valuable points of reference for genealogists. The presence of a Gaging Station and an Electric Transmission Line indicates the expanding infrastructure managed by the Tennessee Valley Authority during this era of regional development.
