1936 Map of Trenton

USGS Topo · Published 1936

About this map

The Southern RR corridor anchors this 1936 survey, tracing the valley floor between the imposing landforms of Sand Mountain and Lookout Mountain. This landscape is defined by its rural infrastructure, featuring a dense network of early schools and religious sites like the Sand Mtn Academy, Mt Olive Sch, and Byrds Chapel. The map documents the primary settlements of Trenton Town and Rising Fawn during a period of transition, noting a section of abandoned rail line and the presence of Georgia U S Highway No 11. Topographical features such as Pudding Ridge and Deer Head Cove illustrate the complex terrain that dictated the placement of mountain gaps and small farming communities like Stewart Town and Beulah.
