1916 Map of Cornettsville

USGS Topo · Published 1932

About this map

Hazard and the surrounding coal country of Perry County are shown here during a period of industrial expansion along the L & N RR. The North Fork of the Kentucky River serves as the primary corridor for transportation and settlement, connecting hubs like Viper, Jeff, and Cornettsville. Away from the rail lines, the landscape is defined by an intricate network of narrow hollows and creeks such as Leatherwood Creek and Clover Fork. The map reveals a highly localized social geography, marked by numerous numbered schoolhouses—from School No 10 to School No 12—and named community institutions like Redoak School and Race Fork School. Personal landmarks like Owens Cabin and small settlements such as Slemp, Sassafras, and Delphia illustrate the dense human footprint within the steep terrain of the Kentucky River headwaters.
