1968 Map of Clinton

About this map

The U S Atomic Energy Commission (Oak Ridge Area) dominates the southern landscape of this mid-century survey, reflecting the Cold War-era expansion of nuclear research and energy production. The industrial character of the region is further anchored by the massive Bull Run Steam Plant situated near Edgemoor. To the north, the county seat of Clinton serves as a hub of activity where the Southern Railway meets the Clinch River, showing the transition from traditional river-and-rail commerce to modern infrastructure like the Melton Hill Lake reservoir.
