1949 Map of Poplar Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1953

About this map

Kentucky Lake and the Big Sandy River dominate this 1949 survey of the Benton County shoreline, where the Tennessee National Migratory Wildlife Refuge spans the convoluted western banks. The map reveals a transition from river-bottom landings like Iron Bridge Landing and Sulphur Well Landing to the upland ridges and hollows that define the interior. The local landscape is deeply etched with small-scale agriculture and community life, evidenced by a dense network of family-named cemeteries and rural houses of worship, including Mt Zion Church and Oak Hill Ch. The Louisville and Nashville railroad cuts across the southeast corner near Faxon, providing a critical transportation link for the timber and farming communities tucked away in McSwain Hollow and Homer Hollow.
