1978 Map of Frogue

About this map

The Cumberland River loops through the northern reaches of this landscape, while the sprawling fingers of Dale Hollow Lake dominate the south, creating a complex geography of ridges and flooded hollows. This 1970s survey captures a rural territory defined by small settlements like Frogue, Hegira, and Modoc, where life centered around country congregations such as Brannan Grove Ch and New Salem Ch. The influence of the petroleum industry is evident in the numerous Oil Wells scattered across the ridges, particularly near Kettle and Sexton Fork. Along the shores of the reservoir, Dale Hollow Lake State Park preserves the peninsula between Mill Creek and Illwill Creek, featuring a dedicated Picnic Area and Campgrounds. Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of family-named landmarks and burial sites, including Groce Cem and Long Cem.
