About this map

The Louisville and Nashville Railroad serves as the industrial spine of this region, cutting through the valleys between Murphrees Mountain and Gravelly Ridge. This 1960s landscape shows a transition from rural agriculture and mining to recreation, anchored by the significant waters of Inland Lake. The topography is defined by parallel ridges like Straight Mountain and Sand Mountain, which dictate the placement of early settlements and junctions.

Community life is centered around local landmarks such as Lees Chapel, Valley Grove Ch, and the Blount Highlands Sch. The map records specific economic and social features of the era, from a Strip Mine near Rock Creek to a Fish Hatchery along the Little Warrior River. Genealogists may find value in the scattered cemeteries and family-named features like Waid Hollow and Needham Hollow, which provide a detailed record of the local inhabitants and their relationship to this complex terrain.
