About this map

The Dale Hollow Reservoir dominates the southern landscape of this mid-century survey, its fingers reaching into deep valleys like Hendricks Creek and Fannys Creek. Located along the border of Kentucky and Tennessee, this area shows a transition from traditional river travel to modern reservoir recreation. To the north, the Cumberland River winds past Herefords and the site of Neeleys Fy, reflecting an older era of transport.

Evidence of rural community life is scattered throughout the ridges, with numerous local institutions such as Brannan Ch, Mt Pisgah Ch, and Vincent Sch serving the small settlements of Hegira, Frogue, and Modoc. The terrain is characterized by prominent high ground like Chestnut Grove Ridge and Scott Ridge, while early industrial activity is marked by Oil Wells found near Williams Branch. This map provides a detailed view of the region shortly after the reservoir transformed the local topography.
