1935 Map of Pikeville

About this map

The Sequatchie Valley floor is anchored by Pikeville in this 1935 field examination, which illustrates the area's rural infrastructure during a transformative decade for Tennessee. The map details a landscape defined by the Cumberland Plateau and the meandering Sequatchie River, where family-named crossings like Hembree Ford provided essential transit. Significant New Deal era activity is present with CCC Camp Sam Houston No 1466 located northeast of the town center. Genealogists will find a wealth of local landmarks, including several rural congregations and burial grounds such as Mt Zion Ch, Vernon Cem, and the Shoemate Cem. Transport and industry are represented by the Nashville Chattanooga and St Louis Railway and early regional infrastructure like the Tennessee Electric Power Company Transmission Line and Alvin C York U S Highway No 28.
