1966 Map of Parksville

About this map

Sand Mountain and the high ridges of the Cherokee National Forest dominate this mid-century survey of the Tennessee mountains. The landscape is defined by the industrial and recreational legacy of the Ocoee River, where the Parksville Lake reservoir marks the impact of the Ocoee No. 1 Reservation. Historical transportation corridors are exceptionally well-preserved here, including the Old Federal Road and the Old Copper Road, which intersect near the rural settlement of Ocoee. To the west, the Bradley and Polk County line cuts through small farming communities like Oldfort and Conasauga. Genealogists will find a high density of family-named landmarks and rural burial grounds, such as Hillard Ladd Cem and Mueller Cem, along with community anchors like Cumberland Shed Ch and Antioch Ch.
