1959 Map of Trout Dale

About this map

Iron Mountain and Pine Mountain dominate this corner of the Jefferson National Forest during the late 1950s. The terrain is defined by the Tennessee Divide and a series of high peaks including Third Peak, Second Peak, and First Peak. Small mountain communities like Trout Dale and Volney sit along the valleys, connected by the Buchanan Highway and proximity to rural centers like Grant. The map documents a sparse but established network of family landmarks and local institutions, featuring numerous cemeteries such as Blevins Cem and Hoffman Cem, alongside country churches like Fox Creek Ch and Little Wilson Ch.
