USGS Topo · Published 1888About this map
The Cumberland River carves a deep path through this Appalachian landscape, serving as the primary corridor for settlement and transit in the late 1880s. This survey records the tri-state intersection where Kentucky, Virginia, and Tennessee meet at the iconic Cumberland Gap. The terrain is dominated by the massive parallel ridges of Pine Mountain and the Cumberland Mountains, which dictated the location of early mountain passes like Butchers Gap and Paint Gap.
