About this map

The Kentucky River winds in deep loops through the Cumberland National Forest in this 1952 snapshot of Lee County. The river’s importance as a primary transportation artery is underscored by the presence of Lock No 13 and Lock No 14, while the Louisville and Nashville railroad tracks parallel its banks, serving settlements like Heidelberg and Yellow Rock. The rugged topography of Spencer Ridge and Hale Ridge limited agricultural development to the plateaus and narrow valleys, where numerous family cemeteries such as the Kall Cem and Angel Cem are located.
