1952 Map of Davisburg

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

Pine Mountain and Log Mountain dominate this corner of the Cumberland Plateau, where the ridges of the Kentucky State Forest define the high ground. The Louisville and Nashville railroad tracks follow the winding path of Brush Creek through the north, serving the small coal-town settlements of Kayjay and Wheeler. This 1952 snapshot of the Bell and Knox county line shows a landscape deeply shaped by the extraction economy, with a Tramway and numerous local schools like Davisburg Sch and Centennial Sch positioned to serve isolated hollows. Several family burying grounds, including the Old Carroll Cem and Fuson Chapel Cem, are tucked into the steep drainages of Clear Fork and Greasy Branch. These local landmarks, along with the Lookout Tower on Pine Mountain, offer researchers an exact record of the area's mid-century rural infrastructure.
