1950 Map of Wannville

About this map

Guntersville Reservoir dominates the lowlands of this Jackson County landscape, its rising waters shaping the rural economy just after the completion of the TVA project. The terrain is defined by the sharp rise of Crow Mountain and Poorhouse Mountain, where numerous hollows and coves like Carns Cove and Hammon Hollow dictated the placement of small family settlements and homesteads. The Southern railroad line threads through the valley, connecting the communities of Fackler and Wannville to the regional trade network.
