1953 Map of Elverton

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

U S Atomic Energy Commission (Oak Ridge Area) land occupies a significant portion of the landscape, marking a transition in land use along the Clinch River during the early Cold War era. The topography is defined by the prominent parallel structures of Walden Ridge and Black Oak Ridge, which hem in a network of smaller valleys like Dickey Valley. The flooding of the river valleys to create Watts Bar Lake is a dominant geographic feature, altering the historic connectivity of settlements like Elverton and Lawnville.
