1929 Map of Tompkinsville

About this map

Tompkinsville serves as the focal point of this mid-1920s survey, anchoring a region of the Upper Cumberland defined by its sharp river bends and scattered rural communities. The Cumberland River carves a dramatic path through the landscape, most notably at Turkey Neck Bend, where the river's commerce is evidenced by numerous historical points like Geralds Landing and Pruitt Landing. This era precedes the major dam projects that would later alter these river valleys, showing the original course of the Obey River near Celina.
