1955 Map of Middlesboro South

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

Cumberland Gap serves as the focal point of this mid-century survey, where the borders of Kentucky, Tennessee, and Virginia converge along the steep ridge of Cumberland Mountain. The map illustrates the region's deep connection to early American transit, showing the Old Wilderness Road and Daniel Boone Trail winding through the gap. In the valley below, the campus of Lincoln Memorial University sits near the town of Harrogate, while to the north, the industrial layout of Middlesboro is defined by a rigid street grid including Cumberland Avenue and multiple rail lines of the Louisville and Nashville and Southern railroads.
