1973 Map of Faubush

About this map

Lake Cumberland dominates the southern landscape of this mid-century survey, its winding shoreline carving into the ridges of Pulaski Co and Russell Co. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent peaks and deep hollows, including Old Brown Knob, Harrison Knob, and Fish Trap Hollow. Small rural communities and crossroads like Faubush, Nancy, and Ingle are connected by a network of winding roads, including the modern Cumberland Parkway and an older Toll Road route. Local heritage is deeply etched into the land through numerous small family cemeteries and country churches, such as Tarter Cem, Weddle Cem, and Cooks Chapel. The map reveals a transition in transportation and land use, where rugged hollows like Greasy Hollow and Whittle Hollow meet the expanding reach of the reservoir and new highway infrastructure.
