1954 Map of Barthell

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

The South Fork Cumberland River winds through the heart of the Daniel Boone National Forest, shaping a landscape defined by sharp ridges and deep hollows. In the 1950s, the industrial life of this region was anchored by the Kentucky and Tennessee RR, which traced the river and its tributaries to serve coal and timber interests. Settlements such as Barthell, Yamacraw, and Smith Town are situated along these transit corridors, while more remote communities like Co-Operative and White Oak Junction occupy the upland gaps. Local history is deeply etched into the terrain through family and community landmarks, including the Winchester Cem and various schools like Nancy Grave Sch and Wolf Creek Sch. The geography reveals a classic Appalachian pattern where transport, industry, and social life — represented by Wilson Ridge Ch and Beech Grove Ch — are bound to the narrow navigable valleys and protected hollows.
