1957 Map of Ducktown

About this map

Industrial copper mining operations dominate the landscape of Ducktown during the mid-1950s. The southeastern portion of the map is dense with excavation sites, including the Burra Burra Mine, London Mine, and Mary Mine. This concentration of heavy industry is supported by a network of settlements such as Postelle, Chancytown, and Dogtown, alongside the Louisville and Nashville railroad tracks. These mining communities were central to the local economy before the industry's later decline.
