1951 Map of Soldier

USGS Topo · Published 1952

About this map

Cumberland National Forest lands dominate this mid-century landscape where the borders of Lewis, Carter, and Rowan counties converge. The rugged topography is defined by an intricate network of drainage branches, including Slab Camp Branch and Millseep Branch, which historically dictated the placement of small rural communities and mountain schools. The Chesapeake and Ohio railroad corridor serves as the primary industrial artery, passing through Haldeman and the area near Enterprise. This transit network is mirrored by the Midland Trail, which follows the contours of the Upper Tygart Creek valley. Genealogists and local historians can trace family locations through several marked burial grounds, such as Trumbo Cem, Patton Cem, and Bradley Cem, alongside community hubs like Bowen Chapel and the Holly School. The map illustrates a period when timber and small-scale agriculture remained central to the economy of these eastern Kentucky hills.
