1953 Map of Adams

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

The Oil Field dominates the northern reaches of this Lawrence County landscape, where numerous wells are scattered across the ridges and hollows north of Little Blaine Creek. The terrain is deeply dissected by a network of waterways including the Right Fork and Left Fork of the creek, which dictated the settlement patterns of early 1950s Appalachia. Small communities and family centers such as Evergreen, Adams, and Ledocio are connected by winding roads that follow the valley floors, while prominent ridges like Dry Ridge and Pleasant Ridge provide elevated landmarks.
