1971 Map of Talking Rock

About this map

Talking Rock Creek winds through the southern reaches of this landscape, its serpentine path defining the terrain near the settlement of Talking Rock. The industrial character of the region is evident along the Louisville and Nashville rail line, which passes through Whitestone and Tioga, serving local quarries and a quarry that shaped the local economy. An Old Railroad Grade suggests an earlier transportation network that once connected these rural communities.
