1959 Map of Middlesboro South

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

Cumberland Mountain forms the dominant spine of this landscape, where the historic Wilderness Road and Dixie Highway pass through the iconic Cumberland Gap. This mid-century survey documents the intersection of Kentucky, Tennessee, and Virginia at Tri-State Peak, overlooking the urban grid of Middlesboro to the north and the campus of Lincoln Memorial University near Harrogate to the south. The complex geography is defined by the Poor Valley and Powell Valley, where the Powell River meanders through distinct loops like Kings Bend and White Bend.
