2022 Map of Middlesboro South

About this map

Cumberland Gap National Historical Park anchors this map at the triple point where Kentucky, Tennessee, and Virginia converge. The landscape is defined by the massive ridge of Cumberland Mountain, featuring the iconic Cumberland Gap and high points like The Pinnacle. In the valley below, the city of Middlesborough spreads across a circular basin, its street grid following avenues like W Cumberland Ave and Winchester Ave. To the south, the Powell River meanders through a landscape of family-named cemeteries and rural settlements. Genealogists may find value in the high density of small burial grounds, including the John Billingsley Cem, Hooper Cem, and McWilliams Cem. The presence of Lincoln Memorial University and the Middlesboro/Bell County Airport highlights the region's role as a modern educational and transit hub within a deeply historical topographical setting.
