1952 Map of Sawyer

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

The Rockcastle River and Laurel River converge within the heart of the Cumberland National Forest, carving deep valleys through the plateau in this 1952 topographic study. This era captures a landscape of dispersed rural settlements where life centered around small country schools and community churches. Points of interest for local historians include the tiny hamlet of Sawyer and the community at Baldrock, each supported by nearby institutions such as Poynters Sch and Sawyer Sch. The mapping of the Cumberland River section reflects the geography prior to significant modern shoreline alterations, showing the original river course and its numerous named tributaries like No Business Branch and Bark Camp Creek. Genealogists will find value in the placement of local landmarks like the Hamilton Cem and Young Chapel Cem.
