2016 Map of Delmer

About this map

Lake Cumberland dominates the southern half of this landscape, its winding shoreline and numerous inlets like Thompson Br and Fall Run defining the local geography. The map captures a mix of established communities and rural outposts, ranging from the outskirts of Somerset to smaller settlements such as Oil Center, Shepola, and Delmer. For genealogists and local historians, the sheet is dense with family-named landmarks and burial grounds, including the Zollicoffer Park Cem, Hill Baptist Church Cem, and the prominent Lakeside Memorial Gardens. Transportation is anchored by the Cumberland Pkwy, which cuts through the northern ridges. The terrain transitions from the high ground of Beech Grove Ridge and Piney Grove Ridge down to the water's edge, where Fishing Creek Bridge serves as a vital crossing point. Small airfields like Lee's Airpark and scattered rural churches like Pisgah Church illustrate the distributed nature of Pulaski County life in the mid-2010s.
