1960 Map of Wyndale

About this map

Old Jonesboro Road and the Lee Highway parallel each other across this valley landscape, documenting the evolution of transportation in Washington County. The Norfolk and Western railroad corridor serves as the primary artery connecting settlements like Wyndale and Fractionville. This 1960s-era topographic view shows a community structured by its topography, where family cemeteries such as the Hortonstine Cem, Pippin Cem, and Withers Cem are tucked into the hollows of Rich Walker Valley and beneath the slopes of Little Mountain. Educational and social hubs appear at the John S Battle High School and Greendale Sch, while spiritual life is anchored by country churches like Maple Grove Ch and Bakers Chapel. Near the border of Bristol, the Col Robert Preston Memorial Bridge crosses above the rail lines, marking a significant engineering point in the local landscape.
