1952 Map of Cumberland Falls

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

Cumberland Falls State Park and the surrounding reaches of the Cumberland National Forest define this 1950s landscape along the border of McCreary and Whitley counties. The Cumberland River carves a deep path through the center of the sheet, featuring notable river landmarks like McKee Bend, Amos Falls, and a Ferry crossing. The settlement of Honeybee sits on the western heights above Eagle Creek, while the ridges are dotted with essential community hubs including Rock Branch Sch, Sand Hill Sch, and Oak Ridge Ch. Two distinct fire lookouts, the Pinnacle Lookout Tower and New Liberty Lookout Tower, offer a glimpse into the forest management of the era. This survey captures a time when small rural schoolhouses and churches still served as the primary social anchors for families living along the remote ridges and hollows like Polly Hollow.
