1952 Map of Alcorn

About this map

Red Lick Creek and its many winding tributaries carve through the heart of the Daniel Boone National Forest, defining a landscape where early Kentucky settlements followed the narrow valley floors. Small communities like Alcorn and Locust Branch are shown at a time when rural life centered around local institutions such as Parks Sch and the Red Lick Ch. The distribution of family-named cemeteries, including Hade Rose Cem, Barker Cem, and Gum Cem, provides a detailed record of the families who inhabited these hollows before the mid-century.
