1960 Map of Wyndale

About this map

Walker Mountain and the Great Knobs define the northeast-to-southwest corridor of Washington County, where the Norfolk and Western railway and Lee Highway facilitate travel through the valley. This 1960 update by the Tennessee Valley Authority reveals a landscape transitioning with suburban growth, noted in the development of Colonial Heights, Hilander Park, and Preston Hills. The mapping of these residential tracts alongside older rural markers like Bakers Chapel, Greendale Sch, and a drive-in theater captures the mid-century evolution of the region. Family history is deeply rooted here, evidenced by numerous small burial grounds such as Pippin Cem, Sutton Cem, and Ratcliff Cem that dot the ridges and hollows.
