1952 Map of Honey Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1989

About this map

The South Fork Cumberland River carves a deep path through the northern reaches of the Cumberland Plateau, anchoring this 1952 topographic study of the Tennessee backcountry. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition between the upland Big Ridge and the intricate river gorge system, where the Honey Creek Pocket Wilderness Area and Scott State Forest preserve much of the natural terrain. The map captures remnants of industrial and social infrastructure that once served these isolated hollows, including the Old Railroad Grade near Zenith and Gernt. Local community life is evidenced by scattered landmarks like the Honey Creek School, Mt Helen Ch, and the high-elevation Opossum Rock School. These features, along with crossings like Leatherwood Ford and Burnt Mill Bridge, provide essential mapping for those tracing the development of the Big South Fork region.
