1956 Map of Riverton

USGS Topo · Published 1991

About this map

Dale Hollow Lake and the winding course of the Obey River define this landscape along the border of Pickett and Fentress counties. The mid-century topography reveals a rural network of ridge-top schools and creek-bottom settlements such as Little Crab and Riverton. Education and faith were clearly central to these isolated communities, evidenced by the high density of institutions like the Broad Door Sch, Indian Manson Sch, and the Cedar Grove Ch. The terrain is marked by distinctive local landmarks such as Buzzards Roost and Tater Hill, while the East Fork and Poplar Cove Creek carve deep valleys through the plateau. Small family cemeteries, including Hinds Cem and Bowden Cem, are scattered across the hillsides, providing essential data for those tracing the ancestral lines of the Highland Rim region.
