1936 Map of Princeton

About this map

Paint Rock River and its major tributary, Larkin Fork, define the central valley of this 1936 Jackson County survey. This landscape transition is marked by the steep ascent from the fertile bottomlands near Princeton and Hollytree up to the broad Cumberland Plateau. The map reveals a rural economy centered on the river valley and the numerous coves that cut into the plateau, such as Thompson Cove and Williams Cove. Local infrastructure is sparse but detailed, showing the Camp Ground Ch and Guess Creek Sch serving scattered farmsteads.
