1952 Map of Artemus
USGS Topo · Published 1961About this map
The Cumberland River carves a deep path through the coal-rich landscape of Knox and Bell Counties, where industry and community were closely tied to the water and the L & N RR corridor. In the early 1950s, the area around Artemus and Flat Lick served as a hub for both transportation and resource extraction, evidenced by numerous Gas Wells and a Strip Mine located in the hills. The legendary Wilderness Road follows the topography, connecting older settlements like Yeager (Bimble PO) to the river valleys.
