1951 Map of Burtonville

About this map

The North Fork Licking River meanders through the northern reaches of this Fleming and Lewis County borderland, defining a landscape dominated by the prominent Pea Ridge. Small agrarian settlements and family crossroads like Burtonville, Foxport, and Pleasureville are linked by winding roads that follow the valleys of Beechy Creek and Mud Lick Creek. This 1951 field-checked survey captures the rural infrastructure of the mid-twentieth century, documenting a network of one-room schoolhouses and country parishes such as Mt Zion Sch and the Pleasant Valley Ch.
