1953 Map of Big Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

Red Bird River winds through this central Kentucky landscape, carving a deep valley that serves as the primary corridor for settlement in the early 1950s. Small mountain communities like Big Creek and Eriline are connected by narrow roads following the water, while numerous country schools such as Jacks Creek Sch and Bear Branch Sch dot the various forks and branches. The terrain reveals the early impact of extractive industry, with several Strip Mines and Strip Mine operations appearing on the slopes near Ulysses Creek.
