About this map

Walden Ridge anchors the central terrain of this Rhea County landscape, defining the rugged geography just west of Spring City Memory Gardens. The map documents a legacy of resource extraction, particularly concentrated along Walden Mountain Rd where the Rocky Creek Number Six Mine, Norris Number One Mine, and Kirkwood Number One Mine are situated. These features reflect the industrial history of the Cumberland Plateau's eastern edge during the early 21st century.

Genealogists will find numerous family landmarks and burial sites preserved here, including Thurman Cemetery and Pleasant Hill Cemetery. The complex drainage system is marked by notable points such as Stinging Fork Falls and the sharp turn of Moccasin Creek at Horseshoe Bend. From the settlement at Sow Hollow to the remote Shut in Gap, the map provides a clear record of local roads like Holloway Ridge Rd and Back Valley Rd that connect these upland hollows.
