1967 Map of Oswald Dome

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

The Hiwassee River cuts through the heart of the Cherokee National Forest in this late 1960s study, revealing a landscape defined by sharp ridges and deep mountain gaps. Small settlements like Reliance and Archville dot the riverbanks and valleys, connected by historic routes such as the Federal Road and the Old Patty Road. The industrial footprint of the era is evident in the Louisville and Nashville railroad tracks following the river's curve, and the presence of a Sileermine near Chilhowee Recreation Area. Genealogists will find numerous family landmarks including the Parris Cem, Dunn Cem, and Reliance Cem, along with community anchors like Antioch Ch and the Mountain View Church. From the heights of Oswald Dome to the bottomlands of Jenkins Island, the map illustrates the persistence of small Tennessee mountain communities within federally managed forest lands.
