1946 Map of Ozone

About this map

Ozone and Crab Orchard anchor this mid-century survey of the Crab Orchard Mountains, where the Tennessee Central railroad and Walton Road follow the natural gaps of the terrain. The landscape is defined by its numerous family-named peaks and hollows, such as Ditney Knob, Wolf Knob, and McClough Hollow. The transition of the late 1960s is visible in purple revision layers, showing the construction of Interstate 40 as it cuts across the southern portion of the quadrangle, altering the path of the Old Walton Road. Along Daddys Creek, several river crossings including Frank Center Ford and Barnes Ford indicate older transportation routes that preceded modern bridging. Small settlements like Waldensia and The Glades are scattered among the ridges, often marked by local burial grounds such as Antioch Cem and Glade Cem, which remain vital landmarks for local family history and genealogical research.
