1951 Map of Burtonville

USGS Topo · Published 1953

About this map

The North Fork Licking River winds through the borderlands of Fleming and Lewis Counties, anchoring a landscape of tight hollows and high ridges. In the early 1950s, this area was defined by its scattered rural communities and agricultural hubs like Burtonville and Foxport. The prominence of Pea Ridge dictates the local travel patterns, with narrow roads following the high ground or tracing the many branches of Kinniconick Creek. Local life centered on institutions like Pea Ridge Ch and Mt Zion Sch, while industry and leisure appear in the form of Park Lake and Bowman Springs. The map documents a classic Appalachian plateau settlement pattern, where every significant hollow, such as Beechy Hollow or Bogdans Hollow, supported family farms and small-scale timber interests before the modernization of the late 20th century.
