1978 Map of Burkesville
USGS Topo · Published 1983About this map
The Cumberland River dictates the rhythm of the landscape in this late 1970s survey, looping through deep meanders that create fertile agricultural pockets like Howards Bottom, Scotts Bottom, and Irish Bottom. At the river's edge, the town of Burkesville serves as the regional hub, with the nearby settlement of Douan Town and various landings like Alexander Bar reflecting a long history of river-dependent commerce. The map is heavily dotted with Oil Wells, particularly concentrated along the flats and lower slopes, illustrating the significant role of the petroleum industry in Cumberland County during this era.
