This study documents the methodology to rediscover the alignment of the original Wilderness Road as well as other early trails and Civil War-era roads and restore the approximate “historic period” contours of the topography of Cumberland Gap at the Kentucky-Tennessee-Virginia state line intersection. The detailed methodology was a meticulous, step-by-step “continual refinement” of procedures to prove the historical accuracy of the conclusions of Michael F. Hart, former Visual Information Specialist.
