1936 Map of Vale

USGS Topo · Published 1936

About this map

Arthur E. Morgan and Carl A. Bock of the Tennessee Valley Authority directed this field examination of Carroll County during a period of significant regional infrastructure development. The landscape is defined by the Divide Ridge and the Barren Tennessee Basin, where rural life centered on small community hubs like Crews Store and the town of Vale. The area's transport network was dominated by the Nashville Chattanooga and St Louis railroad, which supported local industry through features like Coopers Spur near Bruceton. Local genealogy is well-represented through numerous rural institutions, including Hebron Ch, Pisgah Ch, and schools such as Barren Spring Sch and Marlborough Sch. The proximity of Hollow Rock Branch and Cherry Creek to these settlements illustrates how early Tennessee communities were closely tied to both the rails and local water sources.
