1954 Map of David

About this map

The Licking River and its intricate drainage network define this 1950s landscape across the intersection of Magoffin, Floyd, Breathitt, and Knott counties. Small settlements like Fredville, Arthurmabel, and Gunlock are situated along narrow valley floors, connected by winding roads and the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad. This era shows a community-focused geography, with numerous small educational institutions such as the Allen School, Lick Fork School, and Forks of Trace School serving dispersed families in the hollers. The map also records early industrial markers, including an Oil Well and the presence of gas wells, alongside the Waldo Wayside Church. Topographical data was synthesized from aerial photographs and local coal company maps, reflecting the area's economic reliance on the underlying terrain.
