1952 Map of Dykes

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

Buck Creek carves a deep, winding path through the central landscape of this Pulaski County survey, creating the dramatic oxbow known as The Bent. This 1952 snapshot reveals a rural Kentucky economy defined by ridge-top settlements and hollow-bottom farming. Small communities like Poplarville, Dykes, and Malvin Hill are anchored by local institutions such as Wesley Chapel and Randall Chapel, alongside numerous rural schools like Haunted Cave Sch and Whetstone Sch. Much of the eastern and southern terrain falls within the Cumberland National Forest, where the Mt Victory Lookout Tower stands near Mount Victory. The presence of a Strip Mine in the northeast and family-named landmarks like White Lily Ridge and Nancy Jane Ridge reflect the long-standing intersection of forestry, small-scale mining, and generational landownership in the Cumberland Plateau.
