About this map

Cumberland Plateau life in the mid-1930s is preserved here, centered on the Cumberland Homesteads project and the surrounding timbered uplands. The landscape is defined by the Tennessee Basin Divide, which separates the headwaters of the Sequatchie River from the sprawling drainage of Daddy Creek. This era captures the rural social infrastructure of the Plateau, from small post offices like Burke P O to community centers such as New Era Sch and Hale Chapel. Transportation routes such as the Alvin C York Highway and State Highway No 28 wind through complex terrain, passing landmarks like Blalock Knob and Morris Gap. The map documents a period of active New Deal era resettlement and infrastructure development, reflecting the Tennessee Valley Authority’s influence on the geography of the Cumberland and Bledsoe county line.
