1965 Map of Burnside

About this map

The town of Burnside serves as a focal point for this mid-1960s survey of the Upper Cumberland region, where the Cumberland River and South Fork Lake Cumberland create a landscape of dramatic bends and high ridges. The map illustrates the industrial and transit infrastructure of the era, including the Southern railroad line, a Filtration Plant, and Charcoal Ovens near Tateville. The creation of the reservoir transformed the local geography, placing General Burnside Island State Park at the heart of the waterway.
