1936 Map of Pickwick

USGS Topo · Published 1936

About this map

The Tennessee River corridor undergoes a profound transformation in this 1936 survey, which documents the shoreline as it appeared before the completion of the Pickwick Landing Reservoir. This advance sheet reveals the transition from a river-bank landscape to one dominated by the Tennessee Valley Authority's massive infrastructure projects. Of particular note is the CCC Camp No 3459, a vital component of the New Deal-era labor force reshaping the valley. The map is a dense record of rural life along the Tennessee-Alabama border, from the established resort character of White Sulphur Springs and Red Sulphur Springs to more remote settlements like Walnut Grove. Social centers such as Shanghai Ch, Free Will Ch, and Mt Tabor Ch are meticulously plotted alongside numerous burial grounds including Burnt Stand Cem and White Sulphur Springs Cem.
