1936 Map of Tarpley

USGS Topo · Published 1936

About this map

Tarpley and the rural hills of southern Tennessee are captured here through a meticulous 1936 field examination. This landscape is defined by its social network of small country churches and schools, such as Sharon Ch, Rehoboth Ch, and Aymett Town Sch. The terrain is deeply dissected by a dense drainage network including Hurricane Creek, Birdsong Creek, and Indian Creek, with settlements like Sumac and Friendship positioned along early ridges and creek bottoms. The presence of Tennessee Valley Authority boundaries reflects the federal infrastructure efforts of the Great Depression era. Notable family names are preserved through landmarks like Maxwell Hill, Ingram Hill, and several private burial grounds like Worley Cem and Harris Cem. The map serves as a detailed record of the pre-war agricultural landscape, showing the distribution of homesteads and the early path of State Highway No 64.
