2016 Map of Rockwood

About this map

Rockwood sits at the foot of the Cumberland Walden Escarpment Ridge, where the steep rise of Mt Roosevelt meets the flooded lowlands of the Tennessee River valley. The landscape is defined by the expansive waters of Watts Bar Lake, which surrounds prominent features like Thief Neck Island and creates a complex shoreline of points and bays including Cane Hollow and Johnson Bend. This modern survey illustrates the transition from the high ridges of Willet Mtn down to the residential developments of Lakemont Heights and Highland Forest. Genealogy and local history are well-represented by a high density of burial grounds, including the Winton Chapel Cem and Rockwood Cem, as well as older site names like Eagle Furnace and Pioneer Village that hint at the region's industrial and early settlement heritage.
