About this map

Coal mining communities and ridge-top settlements define this 1936 survey of the Walden Ridge and Cumberland Mountain area. The industrial character of the landscape is evident in the dense network of tramways and rail lines connecting Briceville, Minersville, and Fraterville. A poignant historical marker is the Miners Circle Cem, serving as a silent reminder of the local labor history. Along the eastern edge, the rising waters of Norris Res and the Clinton Reservoir reflect the monumental changes brought by the Tennessee Valley Authority at this time.
