1954 Map of Cumberland City

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

Lake Cumberland dominates this 1954 landscape, its fingers stretching into the winding valleys of Indian Creek and Otter Creek. The map documents a period of significant transition as the reservoir, subject to controlled inundation to 760 feet, reshaped the local geography of Clinton and Wayne Counties. Settlements like Cumberland City and the Watauga P O remain central hubs, connected by a network of unimproved and light-duty roads that navigate the surrounding ridges. Higher elevations are marked by Short Mountain and Haw Knob, providing a stark contrast to the newly submerged creek beds.
