1947 Map of Ben Hur

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

Stone Mountain and Poor Valley dominate this corner of Lee County, where the topography dictated a specific pattern of ridge-top trails and valley-floor settlements. The Louisville and Nashville railroad winds through the gap at Ben Hur, serving a landscape dotted with family-named landmarks and rural institutions. Significant river crossings like the Poteet Ferry Bridge and Sewell Bridge over the Powell River suggest the historical importance of the river as both a barrier and a thoroughfare for the surrounding agrarian communities.
