1946 Map of Rose Hill

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

Cumberland Mountain forms a formidable physical and political barrier on this 1946 Tennessee Valley Authority and USGS collaboration, marking the Kentucky Virginia border. The settlement of Rose Hill serves as a focal point in the valley below, where the Louisville and Nashville railroad and the Daniel Boone Trail parallel the base of Poor Valley Ridge. The landscape is a complex network of family-named landmarks and rural infrastructure, from Edds Mill on Hamblin Branch to the State Fish Hatchery near Sampson. Numerous small communities and hollows like Henegartown and Possum Hollow are mapped alongside essential local institutions, including Brooks Hall Sch and Hardy Creek Ch. This survey captures the transition of the mountain gaps, such as Brierfield Gap and Middleton Gap, which historically facilitated movement across the high ridges of Little Black Mountain.
