1955 Map of Wilder

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

The coal-mining town of Wilder and its neighbor Davidson anchor this mid-century portrait of the Cumberland Plateau's eastern edge. Situated along the Overton and Fentress County border, the landscape is defined by the industrial operations of numerous Strip Mines that follow the winding contours of the hills. The Tennessee Central railroad provides the vital infrastructure for this extractive economy, connecting the remote settlements of Highland and Vine Ridge to broader markets.
