1957 Map of Isabella

About this map

Copper mining operations dominate the landscape of the Isabella basin in this late-1950s survey. Industrial activity is concentrated around Potato Creek and Burra Burra Creek, featuring the London Flotation Plant and a series of extractive sites including the Isabella Mine, Mcpherson Mine, and Eureka Mine. These workings sit just west of the Tennessee and North Carolina border, where the Louisville and Nashville railroad winds through the valley to service the local ore economy.
