1973 Map of Faubush

About this map

Lake Cumberland defines the southwestern reach of this mid-1970s survey, where the rising waters of the reservoir meet the deeply dissected Kentucky landscape at the Pulaski Co and Russell Co line. This era captures the transition of the region as the Cumberland Parkway and Toll Road introduce modern transportation corridors through the highlands, yet the older social geography remains centered on small settlements like Faubush, Ingle, and Burnetta. Dozens of hollows, such as Graveyard and Whittle Hollow, drain into Faubush Creek and White Oak Creek, illustrating the complex drainage patterns that dictated early road placement and farm locations. For those tracing local history, the map provides precise locations for rural congregations including Cedar Point Ch and Newhope Ch, along with numerous family-oriented burial grounds like Weddle Cem and Tarter Cem.
