1941 Map of Ovoca

USGS Topo · Published 1943

About this map

Ovoca Orphans Home and the adjacent Ovoca Lake sit at the heart of this 1941 Tennessee Valley Authority and War Department survey. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Duck River, which is flanked by numerous family-named river crossings including Beckman Ford, Bluff Ford, and Richardson Ford. To the south, the expansion of the Camp Forrest Military Reservation begins to dominate the terrain, its Reservation Boundary encroaching upon established rural communities. This transition from a series of agrarian hamlets—marked by schools like Fourth Model Sch and Fairview Sch—to a militarized landscape is a primary feature of the era. The southeastern corner shows the Nashville Chattanooga and St Louis Railroad corridor serving Hickerson Station and New Antwerp, providing a window into the regional transportation network just before the height of World War II.
