1951 Map of Dingus

About this map

Crockett and Moon serve as primary points of settlement in this dissected plateau landscape along the borders of Morgan, Elliott, and Lawrence counties. The early 1950s terrain is marked by a high density of rural institutions, particularly small schools such as Jeptha Sch, Smith Cr Sch, and Silverhill Sch, which reflect the localized social structure of these hollows before later consolidation. The drainage network, dominated by Paint Creek and the Open Fork Paint Creek, dictates the placement of winding roads and homesteads.
