1936 Map of South Pittsburg
USGS Topo · Published 1936About this map
The Proposed Guntersville Reservoir looms over this 1936 landscape, a transitional moment captured before the Tennessee River was transformed by the Tennessee Valley Authority. At the foot of the Cumberland Plateau, the industrial and residential grid of South Pittsburg sits near the South Pittsburg Ferry, while the neighboring town of Jasper is depicted in its pre-war layout. The map documents a dense network of rural infrastructure, including the Nashville Chattanooga And ST Louis Railroad and the CCC Camp No 38 in Pryor Cove. Local history is preserved through numerous family and community landmarks, such as Ebenezer Ch, the Gilliam Cem, and several schoolhouses like the Battle Creek Institute. Abandoned mines and a Quarry near Richard City hint at the region's extraction-based economy during the mid-1930s.
