1974 Map of Rogersville

About this map

Wheeler Lake Tennessee River dominates the southern landscape of this mid-1970s survey, where the waters of the Elk River join the main channel. This area, updated by the Tennessee Valley Authority, shows the influence of the river on local development, with residential clusters like Wheeler Dam Village and Ramblewood Shores lining the banks. The map is a valuable resource for genealogists, documenting numerous family-named burial sites including McCartney Cem, Wallace Cem, and the Oliver-Bedingfield Memorial Cem. Inland, the settlement of Rogersville serves as a central hub, while smaller hamlets like Thorntontown and Toonersville sit along the Betty Highway. The northern portion of the map retains a rural character, marked by various country churches such as New Mt Bethel Ch and the prominent Joe Wheeler State Park near the river's bend.
