1954 Map of Stockton

About this map

The Cumberland Plateau landscape near Stockton is defined by the deep incisions of North White Oak Creek and its many tributaries, creating a complex network of ridges and hollows. During the mid-20th century, these narrow valley floors and upland benches supported a dispersed community of small homesteads and family burial grounds, including the Potter Cem and Terry Cem. The map reveals the local social geography through landmarks like the Stockton Sch and Alticrest Sch, while the presence of Coal Bank Hollow and Stone Coal Br points to the region's historic reliance on local mineral resources.
