1950 Map of Rushing Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

Kentucky Lake dominates this landscape along the state line, where the impounded Tennessee River creates a jagged shoreline of inlets and hollows. The area known as Between the Rivers occupies the eastern half of the map, a complex of ridges and valleys such as Mays Hollow and Wienger Hollow that drain toward the reservoir. In the early 1950s, this region was a mix of recreational development and established rural heritage. Genealogists can trace family histories through numerous hilltop burial grounds including McDaniel Cem, Haynes Cem, and Turkey Creek Cem. The emergence of the lake era is evident in the Center Ridge Cabin Area and Ginger Creek Cabin Area, while the Kentucky Woodlands Wildlife Refuge preserves the wooded interior. Important local landmarks like Center Ridge Church and a Lookout tower stand on the high ground of Kirk Ridge and the Valley Divide.
