1949 Map of Cardiff

About this map

Rockwood and the industrial-era town of Cardiff anchor the southeastern corner of this study, positioned where the industrial corridor of the Tennessee Central and Southern railroads meet the sharp ascent of Walden Ridge. The landscape transitions from these rail-served valley settlements into the uplifted Cumberland Plateau and the Crab Orchard Mountains to the northwest. This rugged topography dictated a dispersed settlement pattern, visible in the string of rural community centers like Mt Pisgah Ch and Hatley Sch located along the winding branches of Crab Orchard Creek.
