1947 Map of Hubbard Springs

USGS Topo · Published 1949

About this map

Cumberland Mountain forms a dramatic northern wall for this Virginia-Kentucky borderlands area, where the Kentucky Virginia Divide follows the high ridge line. The landscape is defined by the tight parallel ridges of Poor Valley Ridge and Chestnut Ridge, through which the Louisville and Nashville railroad winds its way toward the Wagonroad Tunnel. This post-war survey illustrates a rural mountain economy deeply tied to the land, with numerous family-named landmarks such as the Wynn Cem, Spangler Cem, and Mc Clure Cem scattered near the Boone Trail. In the south, the Powell River carves a meandering path through The Cedars, creating distinctive features like Wilder Bend and Natural Bridge. The map serves as a detailed record of local civic life, capturing several remote educational and religious centers including Low Gap Sch, Maple Hill Sch, and Russell Chapel.
