The Dixie Highway and US 41 & US
The Dixie Highway And US 41 & US 41A Ralph Thompson Introduction The 20th Century history of Grundy County was heavily influenced by the Dixie Highway and its successors, US 41, US 41A and Interstate 24. To appreciate how these roads came about, it is important to appreciate the relationship of government to roads in the 1800s. Throughout the 1800s and in Tennessee up until the 1920s, most all roads were viewed as a local affair. As such, the roads were the responsibility of the individual counties and even the individual communities within a county. Tennessee required that each able- bodied man with a team (horses or mules) give 5 days per year to local roadwork. 1 The following provide excellent insight into how roads were maintained in Grundy County in the late 1800s and early 1900s. In 1897, as it had been for a number of years, the county was divided into districts and a “Road Commissioner” appointed for each district. James E. “Jim” Scruggs served District 4 - roads north of Beersheba Springs. This consisted in the Beersheba to McMinnville Road, which was divided into 3 sections: Hill’s Mill Road (Hill Road forming the northeastern county boundary.), Walker Road (Philadelphia Church to Northcutt’s Cove Road), Middle Point Road (Gross’s Cove to Beersheba), Grassy Ridge Road (Stone Door Gulf to Beersheba), and the Peak Mountain Road (Old Stage Road).2 Each of the above sections had an appointed overseer and a group of local men assigned to work the road. Each road section was provided with 5 to10 shovels and picks as the only tools for maintenance.

Carolina , Florida North end: Marie, MI South end: Miami, FL Dixie Highway in Pompano Beach Regional Market Activity Dixie Highway History and Facts • The Dixie Highway was a United States automobile highway, first planned in 1914 to connect the US Midwest with the Southern United States. It was part of the National Auto Trail system, and grew out of an earlier Miami to Montreal highway. The final result is better understood as a network of connected paved roads, rather than one single highway. It was constructed and expanded from 1915 to 1927. • In Broward County, Dixie Highway passes by the following cities: Hallandale Beach (39,500), Hollywood (152,000), Dania Beach (31,400), Fort Lauderdale (179,000), Oakland Park (44,300), Pompano Beach (106,000) and Deerfield Beach (79,800). The combined population of these cities is 632,000 (1/3 of population of Broward County). Vital Statistics • County - Persons in poverty (percent) in areas served by Dixie Highway within the County is 14%. • 30% African American • 25% Latino • 44% White • City of Pompano Beach – Persons in poverty (percent) in areas served by Dixie Highway within the City is 23% • 29% African American • 18% Latino • 50% White • County median income is $51,900 • City of Pompano Beach – $41,300 Vital Statistics – Pompano Beach Dixie Highway and the Florida East Coast Railway/Brightline Parallels Interstate 95 Runs Along the FEC Corridor and Brightline Rail Project Study Area • 85-mile N-S alignment, 2 miles wide, > 200 sq.

THE NATIONAL OLD TRAILS ROAD Part 2: See America First in 1915 by Richard F
THE NATIONAL OLD TRAILS ROAD Part 2: See America First in 1915 by Richard F. Weingroff The Lincoln Highway Association, the National Old Trails Road Association, and other groups with an interest in California tourism based a portion of their early promotion on the assumption that long-distance highway traffic would increase significantly in 1915 as motorists headed to the Panama-Pacific International Exposition in San Francisco and the Panama-California Exposition in San Diego. Carl Fisher had cited the Panama-Pacific Exposition in September 1912, when he told his automobile industry associates in Indianapolis about his plan for a coast-to-coast rock highway from New York City to San Francisco. With the $10 million he expected to raise from the industry, he planned to have the new road, soon to be named the Lincoln Highway, ready for travel so “a corps of 25,000 automobiles can be taken over this road to the opening of the Exposition in San Francisco either in May or June, 1915.” The proposal was an ambitious idea that, with the help of an impressive public relations initiative, captured the public’s imagination. As Fisher learned within a year, however, it was also an impossible task. He would not be able to raise $10 million from his auto industry associates or from any other source. Moreover, that amount would not have been enough. And if he had raised that amount, he did not have any means of using it to improve the roads that were connected to become the Lincoln Highway—much less to do so by May 1915.

Dixie Highway Context Study Fact Sheet
Visit us on Facebook or Twitter. Dixie Highway Context Study Fact Sheet General Facts The Dixie Highway is an historic tourist highway that was first planned in 1914 to connect the Midwest and Southeastern states, and which was a part of the National Auto Trail systems of highway. Within Georgia, the highway begins at the Tennessee state line and extends intrastate to the Florida state line, generally following the alignment of SR 3/US 41. Due to campaigning by various towns and cities in Georgia, secondary branches of the highway were also promoted as a part of the Dixie Highway. The Dixie Highway Context Study was initiated by Georgia Department of Transportation as a way to provide a methodology and process for handling this linear resource for future GDOT projects. --In 2012, it was documented that GDOT had over 150 programmed projects along the main branch of the Dixie Highway. --This number of projects has likely increased due to the identification of additional routes (as a result of the context study’s research efforts) of the Dixie Highway across Georgia. Although the significance of the Dixie Highway is generally agreed upon between Georgia DOT and the Georgia Historic Preservation Office (SHPO), past projects were required each time to have an independent evaluation of National Register (NR) eligibility within the specific area of potential effects (APE) in order to determine whether the segment contributes to the overall eligibility of the highway. --If a segment was considered contributing, GDOT also completed Section 106 mitigation efforts, as well as 4(f) analysis, for each project.

Down the Dixie Highway
Visit us on Facebook or Twitter. For Immediate Release: Contact: Teri N. Pope Tuesday, April 07, 2015 404.274.6436 Take the journey: April 7 at 8 pm on GPB… Down the Dixie Highway ATLANTA – Grab some snacks, put up your feet and join Georgia Department of Transportation for a road trip Down the Dixie Highway. The one-hour documentary airs Tuesday, April 7 at 8 pm on Georgia Public Broadcasting. The documentary, which is a public outreach component of the context study, provides a comprehensive evaluation of the Dixie Highway, including its eligibility for the National Register of Historic Places. From peaches, pecans and bedspreads to attractions, motels and restaurants, the Dixie Highway allowed travelers to experience southern hospitality and helped shape Georgia’s early twentieth century history. Attractions like the original Waffle House, which was built along the Dixie Highway and Stone Mountain and Rock City, continue to beckon travelers where some “See Rock City” painted barn signs are still visible. The Dixie Highway began in 1915 as a way to get northern automobile tourists to Miami. The combined divisions of the highway extend almost 4,000 miles from Michigan through Florida, including Georgia which had 1,500 miles of the Highway at its peak in 1926. Generally following the alignment of SR 3/US 41, the State Highway Department of Georgia (now Georgia Department of Transportation) took the lead in developing plans for local projects and bridges in 1917. “To streamline the environmental process on more than 150 projects related to the Dixie Highway in Georgia, a context study helps us to consider the road as a whole,” said Madeline White, GDOT Office of Environmental Services (OES) Historian and Project Manager.
