1959 Map of Cedar Springs

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Cedar Springs sits at the heart of this 1959 Tennessee Valley Authority survey, which traces the complex geography where the Smyth Co and Wythe Co lines meet. The landscape is defined by the Tennessee Valley Divide and the ridgelines of Glade Mountain and White Rock Mountain. This survey reveals the industrial and community footprints of the era, including several strip mines located along the mountain slopes and a network of rural faith centers such as Union Ch, Sharon Ch, and Asbury Ch. The Appalachian Trail winds through the Jefferson National Forest in the west, while Rural Retreat Lake and Cripple Creek dominate the eastern drainages. For local historians, the map's pinpointing of family-named landmarks like Steffy Cem, Kirk Cem, and Keesling Cem provides a detailed view of the valley's mid-century settlement patterns.
