1958 Map of Carbo

About this map

The settlement of Carbo and its surrounding terrain are captured here in a 1958 Tennessee Valley Authority survey. Situated in the rugged landscape of Russell County, the area is defined by the winding course of the Clinch River and the industrial infrastructure that supported the regional economy during the late 1950s. The map illustrates a specialized landscape where transportation and topography intersect, reflecting the era's focus on resource extraction and energy production in the Appalachian highlands.
