1954 Map of Blacks Ferry

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

The Cumberland River defines the landscape of this Kentucky-Tennessee border region, carving dramatic horseshoe loops like Salt Lick Bend and Elbow Bend. Settlement patterns in the mid-1950s followed the intricate network of ridges and hollows, with small communities such as Martinsburg and Zeketown serving as local hubs. This topography is characterized by many small country schools, including Stalcup Sch, Coe Sch, and Xerxes Sch, many of which were located at remote ridge junctions or near the river bottomlands.
