1950 Map of Palmer
USGS Topo · Published 1950About this map
The Palmer Mine and industrial operations near Palmer define the landscape of the Cumberland Plateau in this mid-century survey. Situated at the junction of Grundy, Marion, and Sequatchie counties, the area is characterized by deep coves and narrow ridges, with the N C & St L railroad extending north into the heart of the plateau's mining district. To the south, the Reel Cove Mine and a notable Conveyor Belt highlight the infrastructure required for coal extraction in the rugged terrain of Reel Cove. Genealogists will find several family-named landmarks and local burial sites, including Layne Cem and White Cem, alongside small rural hubs like Tatesville and Laager. The map also captures local community life through the Tatesville Sch and Griffith Creek Ch, providing a detailed look at these mountain settlements before further modern development altered the coalfield landscape.
