1935 Map of Sullivan Gardens

About this map

Kincheloe Mill stands as a central industrial landmark on this 1935 survey, powered by the waters of Kendrick Creek near Meadowbrook. The landscape is a network of ridges and hollows, where the Sullivan and Washington county line bisects small agricultural communities. Settlement patterns are defined by family-named landmarks and local institutions, ranging from Pactolus Sch in the north to Haws Crossroads at the intersection of State Highway No 93. This era of development is captured in the transition between older rural crossroads and the emerging infrastructure of the Clinchfield RR and the Eastman Highway. Numerous rural congregations, including Glen Alpine Ch and Evening Star Sch Douglas Shed Ch, provide essential points of reference for genealogists tracing families in the Sulphur Springs and Harmony vicinities.
