1969 Map of Rockwood

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Rockwood sits at the foot of the Cumberland Escarpment, where the industrial legacy of the Southern Railway meets the expansive waters of Watts Bar Lake. This late-1960s perspective reveals a landscape in transition, where old furnace sites and ridges give way to emerging lakeside developments like Apollo Shores, Bella Mara Estates, and Lakemont Heights. The terrain is dominated by the massive Walden Ridge and the Coaling Grounds Ridge, features that historically dictated the movement of goods and people through the Tennessee River valley.
