1960 Map of Doyle

About this map

The Caney Fork and its winding tributaries, the Collins River and Rocky River, dominate this landscape at the intersection of White, Van Buren, and Warren Counties. The Great Falls Dam regulates the waters of Great Falls Lake, while the historic Old Kentucky Road and the Nashville and Louisville railroad provide the primary transportation corridors. Local life centers around small communities like Quebeck, Doyle, and Walling, which are supported by numerous rural institutions such as the Quebeck School and the Anderson Church. The terrain is marked by significant karst features including Bone Cave, McElroy Cave, and Walling Cave, alongside prominent elevations like Gum Spring Mountain and Hickory Nut Mountain. Genealogy researchers will find a high density of family-named landmarks, from the Simrell Cemetery to the Roberts Cemetery, preserving the 1960s settlement patterns of this Highland Rim region.
