1949 Map of Poplar Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1953

About this map

Kentucky Lake and the Big Sandy River dominate this post-war landscape, illustrating the transformative impact of the Tennessee Valley Authority on the region's topography. The survey reveals a complex shoreline where numerous landings, such as Iron Bridge Landing and Sulphur Well Landing, served as vital points of access before the impoundment of the river. Inland, the terrain is defined by family-named landmarks and small rural congregations, including New Hope Church and Mt Carmel Church, which acted as anchors for communities like Poplar and Valentine.
