1953 Map of Breeding

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

Breeding and Toria serve as the primary hubs in this mid-century portrait of south-central Kentucky, where the borders of Adair, Metcalfe, and Cumberland counties converge. The landscape is defined by its deep dissection by waterways like Crocus Creek, Harrods Fork, and the Little Barren River, which together have carved out a series of prominent ridges such as Moss Ridge and Independence Ridge. This topography dictated the placement of early rural infrastructure, with small community schools and country churches positioned along the higher ground.
