1935 Map of Tellico

About this map

Tellico Plains serves as the focal point for this mid-1930s survey of southeastern Tennessee, where the Tellico River emerges from the mountain gaps. The area is defined by a dense network of country schools and churches, such as Rural Vale Sch and Bethlehem Ch, which anchor small rural communities across the ridge-and-valley landscape. Transportation and utility infrastructure are prominent, with the Louisville and Nashville Railroad and the Tennessee Electric Power Company Transmission Line cutting through the terrain.
