1935 Map of Rockwood
USGS Topo · Published 1935About this map
The industrial and community hub of Rockwood anchors this mid-1930s survey, situated where the Tennessee Central Railroad and Southern Railway meet the base of the Walden Ridge. The landscape is characterized by a dense network of social institutions, including The Tabernacle, Asbury Chapel, and Possum Trot Ch. Education is similarly decentralized across several rural facilities such as Hopewell Sch and Glen Alice Sch. To the southeast, the Tennessee River winds through the terrain, creating geographical features like Thief Neck and Moon Island. The presence of the Rockwood Pumping Station and Rockwood Landing indicates the town's reliance on both rail and water infrastructure. Elevated landmarks, notably the Mt Roosevelt Fire Tower on the Cumberland Escarpment, overlook the transition from the rugged ridge to the lower Abell Valley.
