2022 Map of Cardiff

About this map

Rockwood sits at the foot of Walden Ridge, serving as a focal point for this section of East Tennessee. The landscape is defined by the sharp rise of the Cumberland Plateau and the Crab Orchard Mountains, with the topography dictated by ridges such as Kittrell Ridge and Galbreth Ridge. This survey highlights the complex intersection of three counties — Cumberland, Morgan, and Roane — which meet amidst a network of small creeks like Crab Orchard Creek and Gollither Cr. For genealogists and local historians, the map is particularly valuable for its documentation of small communities and rural burying grounds. Settlements like Cardiff and Dry Hill are clearly marked alongside numerous family-named landmarks, including the Hembree Cem, Eads Cem, and Skidmore Cem. The infrastructure of the area is represented by the Rockwood Municipal Airport and a grid of secondary roads such as Westel Rd and Pig Path Rd, showing the modern connectivity of these historically industrial and agricultural corridors.
