1952 Map of Saxton

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

Cumberland River meanders through the northern hills of Whitley County, defining a landscape shaped by narrow hollows and high ridges like Bowling Mountain and Powers Mountain. In the early 1950s, this region was a network of small coal mining communities and agricultural settlements connected by the Louisville and Nashville railroad. Industrial activity is evident at Gatliff and through various Strip Mines, while the social fabric of the era is preserved in the placement of local institutions such as Siler Chapel, Tulip Sch, and the Upper Mulberry Sch. The importance of water and transport is highlighted by the winding course of Patterson Creek and the river bends at Maiden Bend and Horseshoe Bend. Genealogy researchers will find significant value in the mapped locations of remote burial grounds like Powers Cem and the small post office at Yaden (Verne P O).
