1953 Map of Jellico East

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

Pine Mountain dominates this mid-century landscape where the Kentucky Tennessee state line meets. The Louisville and Nashville railroad winds through the narrow valleys, serving a corridor of mountain communities including Jellico, Highcliff, Chaska, and Habersham. Evidence of the region's industrial foundations is seen in the Strip Mine (Abandoned) and scattered schoolhouses like Morley Sch and Rich Mtn Sch that once anchored these hollows. The topography is defined by the sharp descent from Sand Rock Ridge toward the Clear Fork and Hickory Creek, showing a settlement pattern dictated strictly by the water and rail lines. Notable local landmarks like the Chaska Water Tank and the Lookout Tower on Rich Mountain provide clear points of reference for those tracing early 20th-century family home sites.
