1957 Map of Tharpe

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

Tharpe stands at the center of this Tennessee landscape during a period of massive hydraulic engineering. The Cumberland River still flows within its natural banks, but the presence of Lake Barkley (Dam Under Construction) signals the coming transformation of the valley. To the west, Kentucky Lake is already established, its boundary marked by the Kentucky Lake Res Bdy. This map is a significant resource for genealogists, as it documents dozens of small family burial grounds and community landmarks before the landscape was further altered by reservoir flooding.
