1962 Map of Dingus

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Crockett and Moon anchor a landscape defined by the branching waterways of the Cumberland Plateau in this mid-century survey. The terrain is marked by the distinct cultural and industrial footprint of eastern Kentucky, where pipelines and extensive strip mines coexist with rural institutions like the White Oak School and Union Church. Waterways such as Paint Creek and the Open Fork carve deep through the region, creating a network of ridges and hollows that historically dictated settlement patterns. Family and community history is etched into the map through numerous small burial grounds and landmarks like Peddler Gap and Petes Cave. The presence of several oil wells and mines highlights the extractive economy of the era, while the many cemeteries, including the Ferguson Cemetery and Conley Cemetery, provide specific locations for genealogical research within Morgan County.
