1952 Map of Tallega

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

Middle Fork Kentucky River and the North Fork Kentucky River dominate this Breathitt County landscape, where the deeply dissected terrain dictated the placement of settlements and transport. The Louisville and Nashville railroad winds through the river valleys, serving established communities like Tallega and Athol at the Lee County border. This 1952 field-checked survey reveals a high density of rural institutions, including the Tallega Mission Sch, Glen Eden Community Center, and several family-named landmarks like Spencer Bend Ch. The mapping of remote schools such as Lynam Creek Sch and Mill Creek Sch underscores the isolation of these communities before modern road improvements. Notable terrain features like Bear Falls and Anvil Knob provide key navigational points for researchers tracing the historical geography of the Cumberland Plateau.
