1953 Map of Parnell

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

Lake Cumberland dominates the northwestern corner of this Wayne County landscape, its winding fingers reaching into deep hollows like Lloyd Hollow and Eads Hollow. The 1951 aerial photography captures the region during a period of transition, where small agricultural communities and family-named landmarks are still clearly defined against the ridges. Rural life is anchored by small institutions, from Parnell Ch in the north to Shearer Valley Ch in the south, alongside local schools like Greenbrier Sch and Hall Valley Sch. Evidence of the local economy appears in the cluster of Oil Wells near Susie and the community of Oilton, marking the extraction history of the Hall Valley area. Significant elevations like Magalion Mtn and Pilot Mtn define the topography between the Beaver Creek and Otter Creek drainages.
