1979 Map of Cumberland Falls

About this map

Cumberland Falls State Resort Park and the rugged winding course of the Cumberland River define this Kentucky landscape in the late 1970s. The map illustrates a region where conservation and tourism intersect with industrial history, evidenced by the presence of both the Tombstone Junction Amusement Park and various Strip Mines in the surrounding hills. Local heritage is preserved in the location of several country churches and family burial grounds, including Rock Branch Ch and the Ridener Cem. The topography is dominated by the Daniel Boone National Forest, characterized by numerous water features such as Dog Slaughter Falls and Amos Falls. The map also captures infrastructure critical to the resort area, such as a Filtration Plant and Gaging Sta, alongside small settlements like Honeybee.
