1936 Map of Pride

USGS Topo · Published 1936

About this map

Pickwick Landing Reservoir is the dominant feature of this 1936 survey, which documents the shoreline of the Tennessee River during a transformative period of engineering and land use. The map captures the river's complex geography of islands and towheads, including Sevenmile Island, Pippin Towhead, and Buck Island, just as the Tennessee Valley Authority was implementing its reservoir system. Inland from the river bluffs, the landscape is defined by the Chickasaw Valley and the prominent ridges of Sand Mountain and Pride Mountain. Local life is anchored at the settlement of Pride and Hesters Store, with a high density of rural institutions such as Nazare Ch, Red Rock Sch, and the Zion Cem. The Southern railroad and the Old Tennessee Valley Highway follow the valley floor, tracing a vital transport corridor through Colbert and Lauderdale counties.
