About this map

Harriman sits at the base of Walden Ridge, where the Emory River cuts through the high ground before merging with the Clinch River at Watts Bar Lake. This late-twentieth-century survey illustrates the industrial and transit infrastructure of Roane and Morgan counties, including the massive Kingston Steam Plant and the heavy rail lines of the Southern Railway. The terrain is characterized by steep ridges like Ebb Ridge and Grassy Ridge, which hem in settlements like Oakdale and South Harriman.

Family history is preserved through numerous rural landmarks such as Brazel Cem, Hannah Cem, and Woods Chapel Cem. The map also traces the historic path of the Old Walton Road in the southwest, contrasting with modern developments like Midtown and Laddia Village. Conservation areas, including the Catoosa State Wildlife Management Area, dominate the northwest, showing the balance between the region's coal-mining history, indicated by a strip mine, and its protected natural landscapes.
