1968 Map of Windrock

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Windrock Mountain and Buffalo Mountain dominate the northern landscape of this 1968 survey, where the heavy industry of the Cumberland Mountains is visible through numerous strip mines scarring the ridges. The settlement of Oliver Springs sits at the junction of Walden Ridge and the Southern railroad line, serving as a hub for the surrounding mining communities of Upper Windrock and Tupper Town. To the south, the early footprint of Oak Ridge begins to take shape, featuring the Atomic Energy Museum and the Oak Ridge Airpark. The map preserves a dense network of family-named landmarks and cemeteries, such as Hoskins Cem and Allen Cem, alongside rural institutions like Big Mountain Church and Indian Creek Ch. This record captures a region in transition, balancing its deep-rooted coal mining heritage with the emerging scientific and residential growth of the post-war era.
