1956 Map of Riverton

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

The Obey River and its winding East Fork define the rugged character of this Middle Tennessee borderland, where the Dale Hollow Reservoir begins to back into the deep valleys. The settlement of Riverton sits at a critical bend in the fork, surrounded by a landscape marked by small rural nodes and hilltop schools. Education and faith are central to the community's layout, with several combined facilities such as the East Fork Chapel Sch and isolated schoolhouses like Broad Door Sch and Manson Sch serving the high ridges of Skinner Mountain and Double Top. Local family history is preserved in numerous upland graveyards, including Hinds Cem, Beatyton Cem, and Wright Cem, which are tucked away near winding watercourses like Little Crab Creek and Poplar Cove Creek.
