In
late 1942 and 1943 the government acquired land in East Tennessee, including
the communities of Robertsville, Elza and Scarboro in Anderson County and Wheat
in Roane County. This area, now know as Oak Ridge, was the site used by the
Manhattan Project to build uranium-235 enrichment facilities and housing for
the workers. The Oak Ridge Public Library now has maps showing the property
ownership of the land acquired. The table below lists the parcels with keys to
the maps and other information.
