1936 Map of Paris
USGS Topo · Published 1936About this map
The Paris city center serves as a dense hub in this mid-1930s survey, where the Nashville Chattanooga and St Louis Ry and the Louisville and Nashville RR intersect to form a vital rail junction. This era of federal development is clearly visible through the presence of CCC Camp TVA No 36, reflecting the Tennessee Valley Authority's active role in the region. The map captures a transition in transportation, showing a Proposed Highway alongside established routes like State Highway No 69. Beyond the urban core, the landscape is dotted with rural institutions and family landmarks, from Grove Sch and the County Farm to numerous community centers like Whitlock and India. The geography is defined by the Tennessee Basin Divide, which separates drainage toward the Obion River system in the south from the northern creeks.
