1936 Map of Reagan

About this map

The Tennessee Valley Authority and U.S. Geological Survey collaborated on this 1930s survey of Henderson County, highlighting a rural landscape defined by the winding Beech River and a dense network of country roads. Small crossroads settlements such as Reagan and Middleburg serve as local hubs, surrounded by numerous community landmarks like Barnes Spring Ch and the Shady Hill Sch. In the north, the Nashville and Chattanooga St Louis railroad corridor passes through Warrens Bluff, where a notable Emergency Landing Field is situated near the river. This era was marked by significant land management and drainage efforts, evidenced by the prominent Drainage Ditch parallel to the river and several named branches like Cane Creek and White Branch. Genealogists will find many family-named features, including Buckley Cem and Taylors Crossing, reflecting the area's established farming heritage before modern highway expansion.
