1958 Map of Elk Garden

About this map

The Clinch River flows along the northern edge of this Russell County landscape, where the Trail of the Lonesome Pine crosses the rolling terrain near Rosedale. This mid-century survey illustrates a deeply rooted rural community, evidenced by the dense concentration of family cemeteries such as Hess Cem, Taylor Cem, and Kendrick Cem distributed across the hollows. The settlement at Elk Garden serves as a local hub, featuring the Elk Garden Sch, Elk Garden Ch, and Elk Garden Chapel.
