1968 Map of Windrock

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

Windrock Mountain and the steep slopes of Walden Ridge dominate this Tennessee landscape, where heavy extraction and scientific expansion intersect. Numerous strip mines scar the northern ridges above Windrock, Upper Windrock, and Windrock Fields, documenting the intensive coal mining operations of the late 1960s. In the valley below, the rail infrastructure of the Southern Railway and Louisville and Nashville Railroad converges near Oliver Springs, a hub at the triple-county junction of Anderson, Roane, and Morgan. The southeastern portion of the map reveals the planned growth of Oak Ridge, featuring the Oak Ridge Airpark, the Atomic Energy Museum, and a drive-in theater. Throughout the hollows, family legacies remain visible through numerous burial grounds like Harkness Cem and Hoskins Cem, alongside rural landmarks such as Big Mountain Church.
