1952 Map of Crab Orchard
USGS Topo · Published 1976About this map
William Whitley House State Shrine stands as a prominent landmark on this 1952 survey of Lincoln County, situated near the historical path of the Wilderness Trail. The landscape is a complex network of ridges and creek valleys, where small agrarian communities like Ottenheim and Broughtentown developed around central institutions such as the Ottenheim Sch and St Sylvester Ch. The northeastern portion of the map is anchored by Crab Orchard, a significant settlement positioned along the Louisville and Nashville railroad line and the Dix River. Numerous family-named burial sites, including the Boone Cem, Pleasant Cem, and Tucker Cem, are scattered throughout the countryside, offering valuable data points for genealogists tracing early Kentucky settlers in the region surrounding Walnut Flat.
