1934 Map of Barthell

USGS Topo · Published 1934

About this map

Kentucky and Tennessee Railway tracks wind through the dense topography of McCreary County, following the narrow river valleys that defined early 20th-century life in the region. This landscape is characterized by a concentrated network of isolated settlements and small communities like Cooperative, Barthell, and Smithtown. The river systems, particularly the South Fork Kentucky River and the Cumberland River, serve as the primary geographical anchors, while high points like Skullbones Knob and Hickory Knob rise above the deeply incised hollows. Numerous family and community landmarks are present, including Laurel Hill Ch and several rural schools such as Beechwood Sch and Wolf Sch, reflecting the decentralized social structure of the era. The presence of specialized locations like Paint Cliff PO Sta and Fidelity Shoopman PO illustrates the vital role of the postal service in connecting these pocketed coal and timber communities to the outside world.
