1952 Map of Dykes

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

Buck Creek carves a deep, winding path through the heart of this landscape, its tight meanders defining the agricultural and social centers of The Bent and Dykes. In the early 1950s, this portion of Pulaski County shows a pattern of ridge-top settlements and hollow-bottom homesteads, with the Cumberland National Forest reclaiming the southeastern terrain. Local life is anchored by small rural institutions like Randall Chapel, the Sears School, and the White Lily School, while the prominence of Mt Victory Lookout Tower suggests the area's wooded and elevated character. Genealogists will find many family-named cemeteries such as Woodall Cem and Merritt Cem, reflecting generations of residence along the Long Hollow and White Lily Ridge. The presence of a Strip Mine in the north hints at the extractive industry shaping the land alongside the traditional farming communities of Bent and Malvin Hill.
