1952 Map of Elizaville

About this map

Elizaville and Ewing anchor this mid-century topographic record of the Fleming and Mason County borderlands. The agricultural landscape is defined by the winding course of Fleming Creek and its numerous tributaries, including Mud Lick Creek and Johnson Creek. The rail-dependent economy of the early 1950s is evident in the path of the Louisville and Nashville railroad, which links smaller outposts like Nepton and Flemingsburg Junction. Local community life is preserved through the locations of the Clover Hill Ch and various family burial sites such as Bruce Cem and Frank Cem. Later revisions from 1975, noted in purple, highlight the development of the Fairgrounds and roadway shifts, providing a rare layer of chronological change within a single document.
