1946 Map of Ozone

About this map

Ozone Falls State Natural Area and the Crab Orchard Mountains define this high-altitude landscape in the middle of the twentieth century. The terrain is marked by significant topographic relief, from Ditney Knob to the deep cut of Renfro Hollow. Transportation through these gaps is centered on the historic Old Walton Road, also designated as the Broadway of America, which runs parallel to the Southern railroad line. Industrial activity is visible in numerous quarries and strip mines that punctuate the ridges near Crab Orchard and Ellis Mtn. Family and community history is preserved in small burial grounds such as Wheeler Cem, King Cem, and McNeil Cem. The eastern portion of the sheet is dominated by the Cumberland Plateau, where Lake Waldensia and the settlement of Daysville sit among a dense network of creek branches and mountain gaps.
