1926 Map of Bruceton

About this map

Big Sandy Creek winds through the heart of this Appalachian landscape, serving as the connective thread between industrial hubs like Bruceton Mills and Brandonville. The map reveals a highly decentralized rural society during the mid-1920s, defined by a dense network of one-room schoolhouses and country churches that anchored small farming hollows. Significant genealogical resources are scattered throughout, including the Old Brick Church and the Pleasant Grove Cem, alongside family-named educational sites like the Cuppett School and Glover School.
