1955 Map of Sharp Place

About this map

Pickett State Park and Forest dominates this mid-century landscape, a rugged expanse of the Cumberland Plateau where the Tennessee-Kentucky border cuts through dense timber and deep hollows. The tiny settlement of Sharp Place serves as a focal point for local history, supported by community landmarks like Akers Chapel, the Sharp Sch, and the nearby Sharp Place Cem. The terrain is characterized by dramatic sandstone features, including a Natural Bridge and Hazard Cave, while the surrounding forest is divided by several county lines involving Pickett, Fentress, Scott, Wayne, and McCreary counties.
