1948 Map of Rose Hill

About this map

Cumberland Mountain stands as a massive diagonal barrier across this 1948 survey, separating the high ridges of Black Mountain from the lower valley floors. The landscape is defined by its gaps and transportation routes, most notably where the Louisville and Nashville railroad and the Daniel Boone Trail parallel Poor Valley Ridge. This era shows a well-established rural infrastructure of family-named landmarks and local processing sites, including Edda Mill and Carrol Mill.
