1954 Map of Creekville

About this map

The Red Bird River winds through the heart of the Clay and Leslie county borderlands, anchoring a landscape defined by deep hollows and narrow ridge-top settlements. In the mid-1950s, this area was a network of small, creek-side communities where life centered around neighborhood schools and local churches. From the Flat Creek Mission Ch at Creekville to remote outposts like Queendale, the map reveals a rural infrastructure built along watercourses such as Ashers Fork and Double Creek.
