1957 Map of Dungannon

About this map

Clinch River meanders through the heart of this Scott County landscape, shadowed by the Clinchfield railroad as it winds past the State Prison Camp and through Townes Tunnel. The rugged topography is defined by the massive shoulders of Osborne Ridge and Chestnut Ridge, where the northern reaches are preserved within the Jefferson National Forest. This mid-century survey reveals a highly decentralized rural community pattern, with clusters of family history found in dozens of private burial grounds such as the Stapleton Cem and Bickley Cem.
