1954 Map of Varilla

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

The Cumberland River and the Louisville and Nashville railroad tracks cut through the northern corner of this Bell County landscape, anchoring the settlements of Varilla and Page. To the south, the terrain rises sharply toward the Cumberland Gap National Historical Park, where the ridge-and-valley topography of Brush Mountain and Hances Ridge dominates the map. This mid-century survey illustrates the rural infrastructure of the Kentucky and Virginia borderlands, documenting small community hubs like Cubage and Oaks. Genealogists will find several family and community burial sites, including Miracle Cem, Greene Cem, and Barnett Cem. Educational and religious life is marked by the presence of Cabbage Sch and Oakdale Ch, while the industrial footprint of the region is evidenced by a mine near Bailey Hill.
