1965 Map of Pulaski

About this map

Pulaski serves as the industrial and civic anchor of this 1960s study, situated where the Norfolk and Western railway corridor meets the foothills of Draper Mountain. The map illustrates a developed town infrastructure, including Calfee Park, several schools like Northwood Sch, and the county Courthouse. Beyond the urban center, the landscape is defined by the steep ridgelines of the Jefferson National Forest and Walker Mountain, where narrow hollows like Bateman Hollow and Pondlick Branch cut through the terrain. Evidence of local industry and infrastructure is present in the Empire Mine to the north and the Gatewood Reservoir to the west. This survey captures the transition from the town's dense residential grid to the rural surrounding areas of Draper and Stabtown, marked by numerous country churches such as Jordans Chapel and Clarks Chapel.
