1951 Map of Princeton

USGS Topo · Published 1951

About this map

Larkin Fork and Paint Rock River define the winding agricultural valleys of this Jackson County region, where small settlements like Princeton and Swaim served as local hubs in the early 1950s. The landscape is characterized by the dramatic rise of the Cumberland Plateau and Jacobs Mountain, with deep incisions like Fowler Cove and Cowan Hollow providing routes into the uplands. Genealogists will find a wealth of specific family landmarks, including the Prince Cem, Church Hill Cem, and Latham Cem, alongside community centers such as Camp Ground Church and Guess Creek Church. The map reveals a post-war rural economy still deeply tied to the terrain, evidenced by the numerous named points and narrows like Latham Narrows and Fowler Narrows that dictated travel and habitation patterns between the plateau and the river bottoms.
