1968 Map of Windrock

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Buffalo Mountain and Walden Ridge dominate this East Tennessee landscape, where the coal industry of the late 1960s meets the atomic-age development of the Oak Ridge area. The map illustrates a region defined by complex terrain and industrial utility, from the extensive Strip mine operations dotting the northern ridges to the urban expansion of Oliver Springs and Kelley Town along the southern valleys. Researchers will find a high density of family cemeteries such as Harkness Cem, Seiber Cem, and Lively Cem tucked into the hollows of Dutch Valley. The presence of the Atomic Energy Museum and several modern schools like Robertsville High School contrasts sharply with the traditional settlement patterns in Khotan Hollow and Suck Hollow. The Southern railroad line serves as a critical corridor through the gap, linking the mining operations at Windrock to the growing residential and technical hubs of the valley.
