1953 Map of Breeding

About this map

The community of Breeding serves as the focal point of this rural Kentucky landscape where Adair, Cumberland, and Metcalfe counties meet. Surveyed in the early 1950s and updated in the 1980s, the terrain is defined by a dense network of ridges such as Mosby Ridge and Divide Ridge that separate numerous creek valleys. The settlement pattern reflects a traditional upland South agricultural society, with small social centers like Toria and scattered rural institutions including the United Brethren Ch and several local schools like Red Lick Sch and Flat Rock Sch.
