About this map

Palmer Mine sits at the heart of this industrial landscape on the Cumberland Plateau, where coal extraction and transport dictated the local geography in the late 1940s. A dedicated Palmer Mine Road and the St Louis and Chattanooga RR serve the settlement of Palmer, while a significant Conveyor Belt system links the southern ridges near the Reel Cove Mine to the rail lines below. The map documents a transition from the coal-rich heights of the plateau down into the agricultural valleys.
