1935 Map of Rose Hill

About this map

The Old Wilderness Trail cuts through the center of this landscape, tracing a historic path of migration just south of Cumberland Mountain. By the mid-1930s, the rural character of Lee County was defined by a dense network of family-named schools and churches, such as Enon Ch and Brooks Hall Sch, which served as the social anchors for scattered communities like Rose Hill and Hagan. The presence of the CCC Camp TVA No 5 reflects the era's federal investment in the region under the Tennessee Valley Authority.
