USGS Topo · Published 1929About this map
Byrdstown and Albany anchor this late-1920s topography, illustrating the rural landscape along the rugged border of Tennessee and Kentucky before major reservoir development. The map reveals a complex network of river-dependent commerce and travel, dominated by the winding paths of the Obey River and Wolf River. Transportation in this era relied heavily on river crossings such as Franklin Ferry, Bass Ford, and Riley Ford, which connected isolated farming communities and local schools.
