1972 Map of Oak Ridge

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Oak Ridge serves as the primary settlement on this ridge-and-hollow landscape, characterized by a high density of family cemeteries and rural churches. Genealogists will find a significant record of local families through landmarks such as Neely Cem, Lewis Cem, and Parker Cem. The terrain is defined by the winding drainages of Battleground Creek and Clear Creek, while the Bluff Experimental Forest occupies the central western portion of the quadrangle. Small congregations are centered around houses of worship like Ridgeway Ch and Jones Chapel, reflecting the dispersed community structure common in rural Warren County during the early 1970s. The map also records early industrial and communication infrastructure, including a Radio Tower and the Oak Ridge Lookout Tower, set against the backdrop of the Black River which forms the southeastern boundary.
