1962 Map of Byrdstown
USGS Topo · Published 1964About this map
Byrdstown sits near the Kentucky-Tennessee border in this early 1960s survey, defined by the winding reaches of Dale Hollow Reservoir where it floods the Wolf River and Obey River valleys. The landscape is dotted with family-named landmarks and rural institutions, including the Cordell Hull Birthplace and several country churches like Jones Chapel and Hatcher Hall Ch. The map provides a detailed view of local genealogy through numerous small burial grounds such as Love Lady Cem, Crawford Cem, and Riley Cem. Transportation patterns of the era are visible in the Ferry crossing at Eagle Creek, while the town of Byrdstown serves as a hub with the Pickett Co High Sch. The geography reflects a transition from traditional river-valley settlement to a landscape shaped by significant water management and recreation.
