1963 Map of Hail

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

The Cumberland River Lake dominates this 1963 survey of the rugged borderlands between Pulaski and McCreary counties. This revision highlights the impact of controlled inundation, noting the lake's normal pool elevation of 723 feet and the winding geometry of Barnett Bend and Jasper Bend. Inland from the river, the landscape is defined by the steep ridges of the Daniel Boone National Forest, where small settlements like Hail and Blue John sit among deep hollows. The southern edge of the map tracks the Southern Railway through Greenwood, providing a glimpse into the rail-dependent economy of the era. Historical researchers can identify several isolated country churches, including Salem Ch and Bethel Ch, and trace the primitive road network through the Beaver Creek Wilderness, alongside family landmarks such as Hyden Ridge and Hewling Ridge.
