1952 Map of Oneida South

About this map

Helenwood and Huntsville anchor the eastern corridor of this Scott County region, where the economy was deeply tied to the Cincinnati New Orleans and Texas Pacific RR. The map reveals a landscape defined by industrial extraction, with extensive strip mines and smaller operations scattered throughout the hills near High Point and Verdun. To the west, the terrain drops toward the Big South Fork National River, where features like Negro Bend and Clear Fork mark the transition from human settlement to protected wilderness. For the family historian, numerous small burial grounds such as Pemberton and Duncan cemeteries are documented alongside landmarks like the Grassy Knob Lookout Tower. The 1980s revisions highlight modern developments, including the Scott Municipal Airport, juxtaposed against an old railroad grade, showing the evolution of transport in the Cumberland Plateau.
