1952 Map of Fork Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

The Emory River and its numerous tributaries carve through the heart of this Cumberland Plateau landscape, defining the early 1950s settlement patterns of the Scott and Morgan County border. Resource extraction is central to the local economy, evidenced by numerous coal labels and infrastructure like the dismantled railroad and dismantled incline near Buffalo. Small communities like Mahan Village, Hembree, and Moores Camp are clustered along the valley floors, while the higher elevations of Bird Mountain and Smoky Mountain remain largely protected within the Morgan State Forest. For genealogists, the map is a dense record of family history, pinpointing several burial grounds including the Reeves-Daugherty Cemetery and Patterson Cemetery, alongside local landmarks such as the Beech Grove Church.
