Section Introduction I Introduction
What is a Byway? A public road having special scenic, historic, recreational, cultural, and or natural qualities that have been recognized as such through legislation or some other official declaration.
What is a Corridor? The road or highway right-of-way and the adjacent area that is visible from and extending along the highway. The distance the corridor extends from the highway could vary depending on adjacent intrinsic qualities.
What is a Corridor Management Plan? A written document that specifies the actions, procedures, controls, operational practices, and administrative strategies to maintain the scenic, historic, recreational, cultural, archeological, and natural qualities of the scenic byway. It should provide for the conservation and enhancement of the byway’s intrinsic qualities as well as the promotion of tourism and economic development. The plan should provide an effective management strategy to balance these concerns while providing for the users’ enjoyment of the byway. Roads belong in the landscape. “For untold thousands of years we traveled on foot over rough paths and dangerously Sharing the story of the Cumberland Historic Byway is an exercise in discovering who unpredictable roads, not simply as peddlers or commuters or tourists, but as men and we are, by understanding the landscape from which we come.

These features and resources exist within a cohesive landscape which represents a rare remnant of the natural and cultural fabric of the Old Southwest Frontier.” The Cumberland Plateau National Heritage Corridor Feasibility Study. (2006)
The Cumberland Historic Byway began as a concept with the formation of The Cumberland Plateau National Heritage Corridor Feasibility Study. The study confirmed what many life long residents already knew- the unique qualities of the region needed to be protected so that future generations can enjoy them. The study provided the framework for developing a series of Byways that crisscrosses the Cumberland Plateau, revealing glimpses of the frontier lifestyle. With a growing number of travelers seeking remote places of distinct beauty, the Byway represents an opportunity for economic development that is place-based, and locally sustainable. This is also known as eco-tourism. And while the idea of eco- “…our broad definition of byways today… is rooted in eighteenth century “...Tennessee’s Cumberland Plateau should be considered nationally origins of scenic analysis and pleasure driving that arose from a new tourism is fairly modern, the concept of people driving for important by virtue of the outstanding quality and varietry of its appreciation for the natural landscape during the Age of Enlightenment.” the sole fact of discovering the next magnificent vista is not. biological, geological, recreational, and cultural resources.” Paul Daniel Marriott The Cumberland Plateau National Heritage Corridor Feasibility Study The Journal for America’s Byways: Volume 1, Issue 1 (2011) With the growing amount of research aimed at understanding (2006) the demand for Byways, recent publications such as the “Journal for America’s Byways”, provides academic insight into the roots of driving for pleasure. As far back as the late 19th Century, a new appreciation for the landscape emerged harmonious integration of highway engineering and landscape architecture.” As driving habits evolved rapidly during and directly informed the character of carriage drives, and the 1950’s and 1960’s, the idea of the leisurely Sunday Drive soon gave way to the need for speed. Super highways began other paths that lead through the landscape. Drives were no to appear in the landscape, and along with it a new development pattern that changed the way cities had developed for longer considered soley utilitarian, but instead were designed thousands of years. The age of Suburban Sprawl had arrived. so as to take advantage of scenic vistas, unique assemblages of plant species, and leafy lanes found along stream banks. As While the advent of the automobile has fundamentally changed the way humans experience the landscape, a new awareness a result of the care taken to construct these carriage drives, of the environment and a desire to reconnect with nature has spawned a generation of travels who seek out unique Byways new technologies emerged that would ultimately become for exploration.

The authors www.wikipedia.org) passion for this special place is evidenced through his poetic use of prose. Edwin Gardner died tragically, in July 2010 Image bottom left: Devil’s Race Track (Photo, 2009: Adam Brimer, www.knoxnews.com) while riding his bicycle. A great loss.
“The east end of the byway begins just south of Cumberland Gap, where Powell Valley Road (TN 63) intersects with US 25E. For the next 32 miles you are on one of the most scenic back roads in Tennessee, passing through the lush farmland of Powell Valley, with the Powell River on your left and the dramatic escarpment of the Cumberland Plateau looming up 1000 feet or more on your right. This valley’s rich history dates from the earliest pioneer settlement in the 18th century, and is still dotted with 19th century farmhouses and barns. This county has 38 farms that have been worked by the same family for over 100 years, and many are found in Powell Valley.
You soon arrive at Cove Lake State Park created by the Civilian Conservation Corps, a scenic gem whose intimate lake is nestled against the foot of the Plateau.
A quick six mile link on I-75 takes you past the 1,800 foot high rock-ribs known as the Devil’s Racetrack. You can climb to the top via the Cumberland Trail, which intersects the byway near Cove Lake. Exiting onto TN 63, you climb steadily through a landscape of jumbled peaks of the Cumberland Mountains for 21 miles. On either side of the road is the great unbroken forest of the Sundquist and Royal Blue Wildlife Management Areas, home range for one of only three elk herds in the eastern United States as well as black bear and many rare species. You arrive at the intersection of US 27 and the Big South Fork Visitor Center. There you receive help in planning a side trip into the Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area, taking advantage of extensive opportunities for driving scenic back roads, hiking, horseback trail riding, camping, wildlife watching, whitewater canoeing, and interpretive programs about the pioneer, logging and coal mining history of the area.
Eight miles to the south on US 27 you pass through through three small hamlets typical of the Cumberland Mountain coal country to the intersection of TN 52, where you head west. After eight miles you arrive at the charming, timecapsule village of Historic Rugby, a National Historic District. Historic Rugby is a fully restored Victorian settlement that was built in the 1880s in the heart of what was then a wilderness. A stop at the new Rugby Visitor Center shows the unique story of this “last English colony,” built by British and other European immigrants seeking a new start in the New World.
I.4 Introduction Cumberland Byway Corridor Management Plan Introduction
From Rugby you continue on TN 52 westward. A couple of miles Farther along, you arrive at the intersection of TN 52 and heading Image Left: Island View Lookout - down the road, you pause at the spectacular bridge over the Clear west through more unspoiled farm landscape to Standing Stone Dale Hollow Lake Fork, one of the tributaries of the Big South Fork, to enjoy the view State Rustic Park, another CCC-designed park and also a National (Photo, 2013: Tom Allen) down into the gorge.

If your timing is right, you get to watch the Annual Image Bottom Left: the landscape opens up as a wide rolling table land with broad vistas world championship rolley hole marble competition. This rare Birthplace of Cordell Hull here and there. After 12 miles you arrive in the little German settled continuation of a traditional sport of the region is played with hand- (Photo, 2013: Will Hargrove) town of Allardt,, where you can enjoy the 19th century buildings of made flint marbles. the Allardt National Historic District. From here a short side trip takes you to Colditz Cove State Natural Area, where Northrup Falls Farther west, you arrive at Celina, an old steamboat town at the drops in a sheer veil of water for 63 feet into a rocky bowl. confluence of the Cumberland and Obey River which was once the transportation hub of the whole upper Cumberland Plateau. A Four miles beyond Allardt on TN 52 you arrive in the historic Corps of Engineers dam on the Obey River has transformed the town of Jamestown, where a tour of the Old Fentress County town into the gateway to Dale Hollow Lake, a dramatically scenic Jail gives an eye opening reminder of the region’s rough history. body of water, with deep coves set among steep forested hills. You You continue northwest on US 127 and a side trip takes you to may decide to rent a houseboat and relax in this restful atmosphere Pickett State Rustic Park. A hike takes you past a riotous assortment for a day or two, musing on the days when the Plateau’s loggers, arches, overhanging cliffs, and other geological features.

Nearby, a short hike takes you to the breathtaking Twin Arches in the BSF, the highest arch in the eastern US and especially remarkable for having two large arches side by side.
A few miles down the byway, set in this beautiful rolling farmland, you discover the Alvin York Farm National Historic District, home of WWI’s most celebrated hero. At the York family’s farm and water-powered gristmill, you can walk in the footsteps of this man who, though showered by ticker tape in the streets of New York and portrayed by Gary Cooper in a popular movie, held fast to the simple homespun values of his Wolf River valley upbringing. Continuing on US 127, you enter a landscape that descends gradually from mountain forest to the bucolic farmland of the Wolf River valley. You stop for refreshment at Forbus Mill, an early 20th century crossroads dry goods store that has not changed a bit. Narrow winding side roads in this valley carry you through a lovely rural landscape that seems right out of the 19th century.
Farther down the byway, you turn southwest onto TN 111. Soon you arrive at Cordell Hull’s Birthplace, a humble log cabin that was the boyhood home to the Secretary of State under FDR, winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, and often called the “Father of the United Nations.” You may marvel, as have many before, that two important celebrities of the early 20th century grew up in this remote Tennessee valley, and that their actions in the public arena continued to show the strong impression of the culture and values of this place. Recently, with the help of the Friends of Cordell Hull Association, the State purchased additional land containing the scenic and historic Bunkum Cave. With a mouth over 100 feet wide by 30 feet high, bisected by a small, clear stream, Bunkum Cave has been a delight to generations of adventuresome local explorers for years.

The eastern boundary of the ecoregion in Tennessee, along the more abrupt escarpment where it meets the Ridge and Valley (67), is relatively smooth and only slightly notched by small eastward flowing stream drainages. The western boundary, next to the Interior Plateau’s Eastern Highland Rim (71g), is more crenulated with a rougher escarpment that is more deeply incised. The mixed mesophytic forest is 74. Mississippi Valley Loess Plains restricted mostly to the deeper ravines and escarpment slopes, and the upland forests are dominated by mixed oaks with shortleaf pine. This ecoregion stretches from near the Ohio River in western Kentucky to Louisiana. It consists primarily of irregular plains, with oak-hickory and oak-hickory-pine natural vegetation.

The prevalence of these lookouts necessitates further investi- gation through on-the-ground reconnaissance to determine which of these are accessible by trail or road and which could be marketed to add to the scenic nature of the byway. Analysis of the lookouts should begin by investigating those that fall within a one-mile radius of the byway. Through cooperation with the State Parks Service and private landowners, the peaks and lookouts adjacent to the Cum- berland Byway can be developed into trailheads and picnic areas to serve as rest areas and jump off points for the byway.

The rugged topography, due to the extreme folding Cumberland Mountain Thrust Block Watersheds and faulting of the geologic formations as part of the Valley and and Contours Ridge Physiographic Region, including the Cumberland Mountain (Map, 2013: Randy Morgan) Thrust Fault, greatly hindered the migration of settlers to the Plateau from the east.
The Clear Fork River and the New River form the Big South Fork of the Cumberland River, the third largest tributary to the Cumberland. The counties of Scott, Fentress, and Morgan, which are part of the Cumberland Byway, are included in this watershed.
The rivers and streams have been the major force that has created the often dramatic landscape of the area today. As the streams have eroded the sandstone, which caps the plateau, they have carved out gorges and canyons, leaving behind cliffs, natural cliffs and canyons, rock shelters, and waterfalls. Elevations can change suddenly. They range from approximately 1,800 feet along the highest ridge tops to 800 feet along the river. This geology allows for many scenic views Legend: and lookouts in this section of the byway. Below the sandstone are more soluble formations, typically limestone, where water has formed karst environments (caves). The formation of these caves follows a similar pattern as the Western Escarpment. These caves can be found primarily along a northeast-southwest trend with the largest caves found near the base of the escarpment. The water forming the caves is primarily from subsurface invasion of surface streams flowing off the plateau.
Ecoregion 69d. The Cumberland Mountains, in contrast to the sandstone- dominated Cumberland Plateau (G8a) to the west and southwest, are more highly dissected, with narrow crested steep slopes, and younger Pennsylvanian-age shales, sandstones, siltstones, and coal. Narrow, winding valleys separate the mountain ridges, and relief is often 2000 feet. Cross Mountain, west of Lake City, reaches 3534 feet in elevation. Soils are generally well-drained, loamy, and acidic, with low fertility. The natural vegetation is a mixed mesophytic forest, although composition and abundance vary greatly depending on aspect, slope position, and degree of shading from adjacent land masses. Large tracts of land are owned by lumber and coal companies, and there are many areas of strip mining.

The topography is generally flat with some rolling hills and gorges. Loamy soils are very shallow soil depths of 1 to 5 feet above bedrock.
Ecoregion 68a. The Cumberland Plateau’s tablelands and open low mountains are about 1000 feet higher than the Eastern Highland Rim (71g) to the west, and receive slightly more precipitation with cooler annual temperatures than the surrounding lower-elevation ecoregions. The plateau surface is less dissected with lower relief compared to the Cumberland Mountains (69d) or the Plateau Escarpment (68c). Elevations are generally 1200-2000 feet, with the Crab Orchard Mountains reaching over 3000 feet.

This allowed easier access to the Plateau from the Watersheds and Contours (Map, 2013: Randy Morgan) west through significant gaps created by the drainage features.

These caves can be found primarily along a northeast-southwest trend with the largest caves found near the base of the escarpment. The water forming the caves is primarily from subsurface invasion of surface streams flowing off the plateau.
Ecoregion 68c. The Plateau Escarpment is characterized by steep, forested slopes and high velocity, high gradient streams. Local relief is often 1000 feet or more. The geologic strata include Mississippian-age limestone, sandstone, shale, and siltstone, and Pennsylvanian-age shale, siltstone, sandstone, and conglomerate. Streams have cut down into the limestone, but the gorge talus slopes are composed of colluvium with huge angular, slabby blocks of sandstone.

Image: Charrette team members and participants look on as maps from the What is a Charrette? community visioning session are presented. A charrette is an intensive planning session where citizens, designers (Photo, 2013: Rodney Benton) and others collaborate on a unified vision. The term “Charrette” is the french word for “little cart.” The Charrette collected final work Image bottom: Barn Raising from students in the École des Beaux-Arts school in Paris, France. (Photograph, 1900: Alexander W. Galbraith) Unwilling to stop their work, students would jump on the cart to put final touches on their final designs. A barn raising, also historically called a “raising bee” describes a collective action of a community, in which a barn for one of the members is built or rebuilt collectively by members of the community. Raising bees, quilting bees, and even spelling bees, were intentional acts of community building. The Charrette is an intentional act of community building. By embracing community participation as a means of creating a unified vision, the Charrette synthesizes many potentially differing opinions into a collective vision that can be leveraged to benefit the byway as a whole. All parties develop a vested interest in the project through hands-on involvement in the creation of a shared vision for the Cumberland Byway. This intense process allows for the efficient exchange of ideas between the community and the planning/ design team. Additionally, the collaborative process and compressed time frame eliminates the typical delays of conventional planning strategies. Real time feedback garnered during the charrette process gives a sense of authorship to those who participate, resulting in a better end product. Trust is created among the community, its leaders, and the charrette team, as result of the charrette being open to the public.

Image: Typical Farmstead along the Eastern Introduction Highland Rim. (2013: Randall Morgan) The Cumberland Historic Byway contains a number of significant resources that are immediately recognizable along its corridor. While an exhaustive list of resources can be found in the appendex, the following inventory catalogs those resources that are easily recognized on a local, regional, and/ or national level. Local resources are those that reveal the particulars of a place, such as a shady grove of trees, a working farm, or a bend in the river. Most often these are the special places that are loved by the locals. In regards to regional resources, these are often the wind swept views along a mountain range, the broad expanse of a great valley, or the convergence of two significant waterways. These resources reveal the broader landscape patterns that shaped how people settled the earth. Travelers along the Byway easily see the how these resources fostered an authentic way of life. Lastly, national resources are those that are awe inspiring and are often natural features. These places are symbolic and contribute directly to a national identity.

To traverse its meandering course along scenic, modern highways is to be reminded of the Plateau’s age-old traditions and, like the pioneers who came before, the expectation of even better days to come.
