1936 Map of Waynesboro
USGS Topo · Published 1936About this map
Waynesboro serves as the focal point of this 1930s landscape, where the Green River and State Highway No 64 intersect in the Tennessee hills. The mapping reveals a rural social structure anchored by small community nodes such as Hardin and Shakerag, each supported by local institutions like Leatherwood Sch and Ray Sch. The presence of the County Farm and the Waynesboro Fire Tower indicates the era's civic infrastructure and resource management priorities. This Tennessee Valley Authority collaboration documents the region just as electrification was expanding, evidenced by the Tennessee Electric Power Company Transmission Line cutting across the terrain. Numerous family-named hollows and cemeteries like Morris Cem provide essential data for tracing local lineage and early 20th-century settlement patterns.
