About this map

Whippoorwill Creek carves a winding path through the borderlands of Logan County, Kentucky, and Robertson County, Tennessee, where it meets the South Fork Red River. This mid-century survey documents a rural landscape defined by tight-knit communities centered around local institutions. Small settlements such as Lickskillet, Dot, and Schley are distributed throughout the agricultural terrain, each anchored by traditional landmarks like Bethany Ch and Cedar Grove Sch.

Genealogists and local historians can trace the social fabric of the era through an exceptional density of country churches, including Emmanuel Ch, Pleasant Grove Ch, and Mt Lebanon Ch. The map provides a clear record of the road network connecting these hamlets and family-named cemeteries before modern development altered the region. The inclusion of Dripping Springs Ch and Oakville in the north further illustrates the dispersed settlement pattern characteristic of the Tennessee-Kentucky state line.
