1936 Map of Sunrise

About this map

Swan Creek carves a winding path through this portion of Middle Tennessee, defining a landscape of narrow hollows and high ridges during the mid-1930s. The region is marked by small, scattered settlements like Sunrise and Bond Switch, which are connected by a network of rural roads and the Nashville Chattanooga and St Louis Ry running through the western corridor. The Tennessee Valley Authority, with Arthur E. Morgan as chief engineer, documented this area as rural electrification began to reach the interior, noted here by the Tennessee Electric Power Company Transmission Line. Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of local community hubs, including Raleigh Chapel, Campground Ch, and several family burial grounds such as Whiteside Cem and Watson Cem. Numerous named hollows, from Stillhouse Hollow to Sugarcamp Hollow, reflect the traditional land use and geography of Hickman and Lewis counties.
