About this map

Saltillo serves as a prominent riverfront settlement along the Tennessee River, anchoring the southern portion of this 1930s survey. The landscape is defined by the river’s winding course through Pitts Bend, where geographic markers like Swallow Bluff Island and Dickey Towhead highlight the waterway's navigational character before modern alterations. Inland, a dense network of small communities and social centers such as Thurman, Lick Skillet, and Red Walnut reveal a rural society organized around family-named cemeteries and country schools. Educational sites like Thurman Sch and Doe Creek Sch are dispersed across the ridges, while religious life is centered at St Marys Ch and Keeton Springs Ch. An early industrial footprint is also visible via an Oil Well located near Montgomery, suggesting local exploration during this era of Tennessee Valley development.
