About this map

Walden Ridge and Dutch Valley dominate this landscape where the Cumberland Plateau meets the Tennessee Valley. The terrain is marked by significant extractive industry, with strip mines cutting across Buffalo Mountain and the high slopes of Windrock Ridge. At the base of the ridge, Oliver Springs serves as a central hub where the borders of Anderson, Morgan, and Roane counties converge.

To the southeast, the growing footprint of Oak Ridge is visible, including the Atomic Energy Museum and Oak Ridge Airpark. The map is a valuable resource for genealogists, detailing numerous family burial grounds such as Duncan Cem, Hoskins Cem, and Hackworth Cem. Remote communities and landmarks like Windrock Fields, Tupper Town, and Peachtree Gap illustrate the dispersed settlement patterns typical of the Appalachian coal country during the late twentieth century.
