1952 Map of Alcorn

About this map

Cumberland National Forest dominates this 1952 topographic study, where the boundaries of Madison, Estill, and Jackson Counties converge among high ridges and deep hollows. The settlement pattern follows the intricate drainage of Red Lick Creek and Station Camp Creek, with small communities like Alcorn and Hisel tucked into narrow valleys. This era shows a landscape dense with local institutions, including the Indian Springs Sch and Beech Grove Ch, reflecting a time when isolated hollows maintained their own social centers.
