1935 Map of Zirconia

About this map

Blue Ridge heights define this portion of Henderson County as documented during a 1935 field examination by the Tennessee Valley Authority. The map, compiled from aerial photographs, shows a sparse mountain landscape focused on the ridge line, where peaks like McAlpine Mtn and Potato Hill stand as prominent landmarks. A small cluster of community life is visible near Huckleberry Ridge, including the Mt Olivet Ch and the intriguing Gem label, possibly indicating a local mining site or crossroads. Transport is limited to early routes like US Hy No 25 ST No 69 and a network of trails winding through Grab Creek and along Capps Creek. This advance sheet represents a precise moment in Appalachian surveying history just as modern photographic mapping techniques were being standardized.
