2010 Map of Cumberland City

About this map

Lake Barkley dominates the central corridor of this Stewart County landscape, where the inundated valley is regulated by engineering works like the Pool Five Dam, Pool Six Dam, and Pool Fourteen Dam. The town of Cumberland City sits at the southeastern bend of the river, anchored by McCartys Landing and the mouth of Wells Creek. This area preserves a high density of family-named topography and local landmarks, from Brigham Hill to the numerous hollows that define the western bank, such as Potatopatch Hollow and Skunk Hollow. Genealogists will find several burial sites recorded across the terrain, including Haus Cemetery, Dunbar Chapel Cemetery, and the John Brake Cemetery near Traylor Ridge. The map details a transition from the managed waters of the Cross-Creek Reservoir to the ridges like Commissary Ridge that overlook the river valley.
