1955 Map of Barthell SW

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

Cumberland National Forest dominates this mid-century survey, which reveals a landscape defined by the deep incisions of the South Fork Cumberland River and its numerous tributaries. Settled pockets are marked by local institutions like the No Business Sch and Station Camp Sch, while family history is etched into the terrain at Terry Cem and Slavens Cem. The complex topography of Chestnut Ridge and Hatfield Ridge historically isolated these small valley communities, where the presence of Oil Wells near Burkes Branch points to the region's extraction history. This area at the Tennessee-Kentucky border shows the early boundaries of the Scott State Forest, illustrating the transition from remote homesteads and subsistence sites to state-managed timber and conservation lands.
