1952 Map of Oneida South

About this map

New River and the Clear Fork wind through the Cumberland Plateau of Scott County, where the mid-century economy is defined by timber, coal extraction, and the intersection of major rail lines. The Southern Railway runs north-south through Helenwood and Oneida, while the Oneida and Western Railroad traverses the western reaches near Big Ridge. Evidence of the region's industrial footprint is visible in the strip mines located near Huntsville and along the eastern ridges.
