1931 Map of Red Boiling Springs
USGS Topo · Published 1931About this map
Red Boiling Springs and the surrounding hill country along the Kentucky Tennessee line appear here as they were surveyed in the late 1920s. This landscape is defined by the winding Barren River and a dense network of rural infrastructure, where nearly every ridge and hollow supported a namesake school or house of worship. The distribution of Wood Sch, New Design Sch, and Alexander Sch across the uplands reflects a period of decentralized community life before the consolidation of rural districts. Small commercial and social hubs like Roarks Store and Winkler Crossroads served the farming families of Macon Co and Allen Co. In the south, the resort character of the springs is balanced by the natural curiosity of Leonard Cave and the quiet reaches of Line Creek.
