1957 Map of Looneyville

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

Looneyville and the surrounding hill country of Roane County are defined by a complex network of gas wells and winding creek valleys in the mid-1950s. The landscape is dotted with numerous small family-named cemeteries such as Watson Cem and Looney Cem, alongside rural social centers like Epling Chapel and Banner Sch. This survey highlights a rural economy shifting between traditional homesteading and energy extraction, as evidenced by the dense concentration of oil and gas wells. Remote travel is facilitated by the Stringtown Jeep Trail and the Jeep Trail near Speed, connecting isolated settlements like Clover and Lefthand. The topographical detail captures the region before more modern infrastructure, preserving the locations of vanished schools such as Stalnaker Sch and landmarks like Buck Knob.
