1936 Map of Wannville

USGS Topo · Published 1936

About this map

The Proposed Guntersville Reservoir looms over this 1936 landscape, marking a pivotal transition for Jackson County as the Tennessee Valley Authority prepared to inundate the lowlands of Mud Creek and Coon Creek. This advance sheet captures the final state of the river-valley community before the waters rose, documenting precise property boundaries and institutional landmarks such as the Rosenwald Sch and the Samuel Keys Reservation. The rural economy of the mid-1930s is visible in the placement of Jacobs Mill and Schrader Mill, while the Southern railroad line connects the settlements of Fackler and Wannville. Genealogists will find high value in the numerous family-named landmarks and resting places, including the Hurt Cem, Bryant Cem, and a dedicated Pauper Cem located near the base of Poor House Mountain, providing a stark record of the area's social geography.
