1886 Map of Cumberland Gap
USGS Topo · Published 1886About this map
Cumberland Gap serves as the focal point of this late 19th-century survey, where the borders of Tennessee, Kentucky, and Virginia converge amidst a complex system of ridges and river valleys. The Cumberland River winds through the northern half of the sheet, connecting early settlements like Barboursville, Flat Lick, and Pineville. This era precedes the intensive industrialization of the coalfields, showing a landscape defined by natural crossings and topography, including Tye Ferry on the western edge and river fords such as McHenry Ford and Campbell Ford to the south.
