1953 Map of Parnell

About this map

Lake Cumberland dominates the northwestern reaches of this mid-century Wayne County landscape, its rising waters shaping the shoreline around Big Island and Ramsey Island. The topography reflects a transition from the winding valleys of Beaver Creek and Otter Creek to the high elevations of Magalton Mtn and Pilot Mtn. This era shows a distributed rural society defined by small crossroads like Parnell, Zula, and Slat, each tied together by a dense network of country schools and churches.
