1936 Map of Orme
USGS Topo · Published 1936About this map
Cumberland Plateau industry and rural life are documented in this 1936 survey, showing the mining operations that defined the local economy. The settlement of Orme sits at the terminus of the N C & St L Ry and an incline, serving as a hub for the extraction of resources from the Battle Creek Mines and Bolten Mines. These industrial sites are tucked into narrow drainages like Widows Creek and Wildcat Turnpike, illustrating the complex logistical network required to transport coal from the high ridges.
