About this map

Blaine Creek and the Levisa Fork anchor this 1970s topographic record of Lawrence County, Kentucky, detailing a landscape defined by its deep hollows and narrow ridges. Small communities like Adams, Evergreen, and Busseyville are established along the valley floors, where the rural economy is clearly visible through numerous Gas Wells and Oil Wells peppered across the terrain.

Local history and genealogy are preserved through family-named landmarks such as McCracken Hollow, Amos Thompson Hol, and John Tee Hollow. Religious and civic life is centered at Smoky Valley Ch and Moore Chapel, while generations of local residents are recorded at Smoky Valley Cem and Hardin Cem. The map illustrates the region's complex hydrology, from the major Right Fork to numerous named branches like Chapman Branch and Zuck Branch, showing the proximity of early settlements to these critical water sources.
