1954 Map of Sampson

About this map

The dramatic gorge country of the Cumberland Plateau is centered here on Cane Creek Falls and the headwaters of the Cane Creek system. This mid-century survey captures the region as conservation efforts solidified around Falls Creek Falls State Park, preserving landmarks like the Cane Creek Falls and the Falls Creek Falls Scout Camp. The rugged landscape is punctuated by isolated plateau settlements like Mooneyham and Sampson, where life revolved around local institutions such as New Martin Sch and Mt View Ch.
