1955 Map of Okalona

About this map

Okalona and the rural communities of Highland and Oak Hill define the settled valleys of Overton County in this mid-century portrait. The landscape is a complex network of ridges and hidden basins, including Copeland Cove and Eldridge Cove, where agricultural life followed the winding paths of the Roaring River and Zollicoffer Creek. Cultural landmarks such as the County Home, a state Fish Hatchery, and a Drive-in Theater near the northern boundary illustrate the local economy and social infrastructure of the time.
