1959 Map of Kayjay

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

Pine Mountain and Log Mountain dominate this terrain in Bell County, where mid-century industrial extraction meets protected woodlands. Extensive Strip Mine operations are visible across the northern and southern ridges, particularly near the settlements of Kayjay and Chenoa. The Kentucky Ridge State Forest covers a significant portion of the central landscape, anchored by the Kentucky Ridge Lookout Tower on a high ridge. The Nashville and Knoxville RR follows the winding path of Clear Fork through the mountains, serving a series of small communities like Wheeler and Davisburg. For local historians, the map preserves the locations of numerous family and community landmarks, including Fuson Chapel, Old Carroll Cem, and rural educational sites like Buckeye Sch. These small settlements are often positioned at the base of gaps, such as Fuson Gap and Lee Gap, which provided essential passage through the steep terrain.
