About this map

The Baltimore and Ohio rail line tracks the winding course of Reedy Creek in this 1957 study of Roane and Wirt Counties. The landscape is defined by the extensive Gas Field development of the era, with numerous wells and a Compressor Sta peppered among the narrow valleys. This energy infrastructure coexists with a dense network of small rural settlements and community landmarks, including Zackville, Peewee, and Dukes.

Family history is deeply etched into the hills through numerous named burial grounds and houses of worship. Researchers can identify the locations of McClung Cem, Baker Cem, and Cranesnest Cem, alongside local gathering points like Goodhope Ch and Pisgah Ch. The map also documents the educational landscape of the mid-century, specifically marking the Peewee Sch and Daniell Sch before the era of district consolidation.
