1935 Map of Snow Hill

About this map

The Tennessee River winds through the northwest corner of this Hamilton County landscape as it appeared in the mid-1930s, prior to major regional changes. The terrain is defined by the prominent ridge of White Oak Mountain and the Dividing Ridge, which separate various drainage basins including Long Savannah Creek and Wolftever Creek. This survey captures a rural network of small community centers like Snow Hill and Buncombe, supported by local industry and spiritual life. Small-scale milling is evident at Scoggins Mill, while the landscape is dotted with numerous family cemeteries and neighborhood churches, such as Maple Grove Ch and Greenwood Ch. The presence of the Maddox Sch and several landmarks like the Savannah Bridge and Wolftever Bridge highlight the infrastructure connecting these upland settlements before modern expansion.
