1948 Map of Ripley

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

The Wheeler Reservoir landscape of 1948 shows a transition from river valley farming to a managed waterway. This detailed Tennessee Valley Authority mapping records the rural community of Ripley and the surrounding hillsides before significant 20th-century development altered the landscape. Significant for genealogists, the map preserves the locations of numerous family-named landmarks and rural institutions, including Riddle Chapel, New Berea Ch, and Turner Chapel School.
