About this map

Buck Creek and its numerous tributaries, including Pitman Creek and Whetstone Creek, define the landscape of this eastern Pulaski County region during the mid-1950s. The area is characterized by a dense concentration of named knobs, such as Saltpeter Knob, Jingling Hole Knob, and Buzzard Rock Knob, which dictate the winding paths of rural roads and scattered homesteads. These family-named landmarks are punctuated by a network of local institutions essential to rural life, including the Camp Ground Sch and several country churches like Hazeldell Ch and East Somerset Ch. Small crossroads settlements like Bobtown and Dabney serve as local hubs, while numerous family burial grounds, such as James Cem and Woods Cem, offer significant clues for genealogists tracking the deep-rooted heritage of this Kentucky hills community.
