1960 Map of Wallace

About this map

Clinch Mtn and Poor Valley Mountain dominate the northern terrain, separated by the winding North Fork Holston River as it passes through Horseshoe Bend. The landscape is a series of parallel ridges and valleys, including Caney Valley and Rich Valley, which channeled early settlement and transportation. Many family-named landmarks such as McGuire Hollow and Vickers Hollow are documented alongside numerous rural churches and cemeteries, including Centenary Ch and Cunningham Cem. Industrial and infrastructure development is evident in the south, where the Norfolk and Western and Southern railroads converge near the Lee Highway. Notable local landmarks like Craigs Mill and the Lime Hill school reflect the community's agricultural and social foundations during the mid-century era.
