About this map

Yellow Creek winds through a landscape defined by deep hollows and high ridges where the boundaries of Dickson, Houston, and Humphreys counties converge. This 1936 field examination, produced by the Tennessee Valley Authority and the Geological Survey, reveals a rural network of small agricultural hubs and isolated homesteads. Landmarks like Cave Ruskin and Jewel Cave stand out as significant geological features in the Tennessee Basin, while the placement of community centers such as Adams Crossroads and Thompsons Crossroads suggests the focal points of local trade and travel before modern highway development fully transformed the region.
