1953 Map of Canton

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

The Cumberland River and Little River converge in this mid-century survey of Trigg County, documenting the landscape shortly before the creation of Lake Barkley. The settlement of Canton serves as a focal point along the Jeff Davis Highway, surrounded by a dense network of family-named cemeteries and rural institutions. The topography is defined by prominent features such as Hillman Bluff and the sharp bend at Devils Elbow, illustrating the winding river system that historically dictated travel and settlement patterns in the region.
