About this map

The Cumberland River carves dramatic loops through Whitley County, defining the landscape of Prewitt Bend and Croley Bend. This 1969 revision captures a region transitioning between rural agrarian life and modern infrastructure, evidenced by the Williamsburg-Cumberland Falls Airport situated north of the river. The southern portion of the map is anchored by the northern outskirts of Williamsburg, including the Highland Park area and the County High Sch.

Tracing the path of the Louisville and Nashville railroad reveals small communities like Goldbug and Wofford that grew along the rail corridor. In the more secluded hills to the west, the Daniel Boone National Forest protects the drainages of Youngs Creek. Local heritage is preserved in numerous country churches and burial grounds, from the uniquely named Tidal Wave Ch to the Redbird Cem near the river’s edge, alongside the specialized Gatliff State Fish Hatchery.
