1936 Map of Pittsburg Landing

USGS Topo · Published 1936

About this map

Shiloh National Military Park dominates the southern landscape of this 1936 survey, preserving the grounds of the 1862 Civil War battle near the Tennessee River. The presence of CCC Camp No 498 and CCC Camp No 2425 reflects New Deal-era infrastructure work within the park and surrounding Hardin County. Transportation in the mid-1930s relied heavily on the river and its crossings, evidenced by the Savannah Ferry and the Pittsburg Ferry, as well as the newly designated Milo Lemert Memorial Bridge. Beyond the park boundaries, the map reveals a rural network of family-named water bodies like Julius Baker Branch and essential community hubs such as New Hope Sch and Mt Zion Ch. This documentation captures the area just before the Tennessee Valley Authority's hydroelectric projects fundamentally altered the river's flow and character.
