1954 Map of Pall Mall

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

Pall Mall and the surrounding borderlands of Fentress County and Pickett County sit at the heart of this mid-1950s survey. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Wolf River and its numerous tributaries, such as Rotten Fork Wolf River and Buckeye Lick Creek. This era reveals a community deeply rooted in its local institutions, evidenced by the concentration of small rural churches and schools including York Chapel, Frogge Chapel, and the Rotten Fork Sch. The Alvin C York Highway serves as the primary artery through the valley, connecting the scattered settlements of Forbus and Travisville across a terrain of high ridges like Honey Spring Mountain and Blue Ridge. Genealogists will find significant value in the detailed placement of the Wolf River Cem and various family-named landmarks like Steve Pile Mountain and Watson Goodman Ridge, which reflect the long-standing multi-generational ties to these hollows.
