1936 Map of Paint Rock

About this map

Paint Rock River winds through a valley defined by the steep rises of the Cumberland Plateau and Keel Mountain during this 1930s survey. The Southern Railway serves as the primary transportation artery, connecting settlements like Paint Rock and Woodville to the broader Tennessee Valley region. The landscape is dotted with several family-named landmarks and essential community centers, including the Rosenwald Sch and several country churches like Shiloh Ch and the joint Antioch Ch Pleasant Grove Ch. Notable water management is evident in the Kirk Drainage Ditch, while rural industry is represented by Walkers Mill and river crossings like Flippo Ford. The presence of the Old Cherokee School Lands Boundary adds a layer of early administrative history to this Jackson County terrain.
