1968 Map of Cave Creek

About this map

Watts Bar Lake and the winding Tennessee River dominate this landscape, which straddles the Roane and Loudon county line. The 1968 survey illustrates a transition from the historic riverine environment to the managed waters of the Watts Bar Wildlife Management Area, showing numerous islands like Matlock Island and Huffine Island within the reservoir. To the north, the terrain is defined by a series of parallel ridges including Chestnut Ridge and Copper Ridge, where small rural communities and family burial grounds are situated.
