1954 Map of Jabez

About this map

Lake Cumberland dominates the landscape in this mid-century survey, its fingers reaching deep into the dissected uplands of Russell and Wayne counties. The map captures the shoreline of the reservoir, including Camp Earl Wallace and various named points like Polston Ridge and Ono Ridge. Small settlements and family clusters are scattered across the high ground between the water, including Jabez, Ono, and Eadsville. Cultural landmarks are prominently featured, such as Mount Pleasant Ch, the Military Cem, and several local educational sites including Flanagan Sch and Piney Woods Sch. The intricate network of hollows, such as Turkey Pen Hollow and Rock Bridge Hollow, reveals the complex topography of the Cumberland River basin during a period of transition as the lake's waters reshaped the local geography.
