1930 Map of Middlesboro

USGS Topo · Published 1930

About this map

Middlesboro anchors this survey at the convergence of three states, positioned just northwest of the famous Cumberland Gap. The topography is dominated by the parallel ridges of Log Mountain and Cumberland Mountain, with the Cumberland River and Powell River carving through the valleys. This 1920s mapping work illustrates a landscape transition, where the established campus of Lincoln Memorial University at Harrogate stands near old river bends like Massengill Bend. Industrial and transit networks are evident through the Louisville and Nashville railroad lines connecting mining and timber outposts such as Wasioto and Colmar. A dense network of rural infrastructure is preserved here, from family-named schools like Laurel Hill Sch and Underwood Sch to local landmarks like The Pinnacle and Gobblers Knob.
