1952 Map of Leighton

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

Cumberland National Forest dominates this landscape, where the ridges of Hurd Ridge and Happy Top Mtn meet the deep drainages of Station Camp Creek. This 1952 study documents a rugged Appalachian topography where small communities and family farms are tethered to the creek bottoms and narrow ridge tops. Settlements like Drip Rock, Alumbaugh, and Leighton serve as local anchors, while high points are utilized for fire detection at the Drip Rock Lookout Tower and Old Orchard Lookout Tower.
