1968 Map of Elverton

About this map

Watts Bar Lake and the winding Clinch River dominate this landscape where ridges and valleys run in parallel southwest-to-northeast bands. The industrial presence of the U.S. Department of Energy (Oak Ridge Area) is prominent on the eastern side of the map, featuring a complex of facilities including a filtration plant, a meteorological tower, and a conveyor system near Pine Ridge. The rugged terrain of Walden Ridge and Blackoak Ridge is marked by extractive industries, evidenced by several strip mines and the L & N RR corridor following the Emory River. Numerous family-named burial grounds like Christmas Cem, Welcker Cem, and Suddath Cem are scattered throughout the valleys, providing a detailed record of the rural communities and early settlements such as Elverton and Blair that predated the mid-century industrial expansion.
