1973 Map of Roddy

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Southern RR tracks cut through the Tennessee Valley corridor, tracing the boundary between the Cumberland Escarpment and the rising peaks of Walden Ridge. This mid-1970s landscape shows the transition from the rugged highlands of Cumberland Mountain to the waters of Watts Bar Lake in the southeast. Small settlements and rural centers like Westel, Greivertown, and Roddy are established along the transport arteries of U.S. Highway 27 and State Hwy 70, where the terrain begins to level toward the river. Genealogists will find a wealth of family-named landmarks and cemeteries, including Kelley Cem, Dogwood Cem, and Clifton Cem, scattered through the hollows. Distinctive landforms such as the Neck, Buzzard Point, and Hank Point illustrate the deeply dissected topography that dictated the placement of early routes and communities like Johnson Chapel and Mt Zion Ch.
