1968 Map of Cardiff

USGS Topo · Published 1991

About this map

Crab Orchard Mountains and the Cumberland Plateau dominate this landscape, where the convergence of Cumberland, Morgan, and Roane counties creates a complex terrain of ridges and hollows. The industrial character of the region is evident in the strip mines dotting the northern ridges and the tracks of the Southern railroad cutting through the gap near Rockwood. Local history is preserved in a network of family-named landmarks and rural institutions, from the Westel Community Center to numerous small burial grounds like Baird Cem and Powell Cem. Transportation history is highlighted by the Old Walton Road and the Broadway of America, which trace historical routes through the rugged gaps of Cardiff Ridge. The presence of the Catoosa Wildlife Management Area and Mt Roosevelt indicates a landscape transitioning toward conservation and managed timberland during the mid-20th century.
