1943 Map of Ellington

About this map

Ellington serves as the primary hub of this 1943 survey, situated in a valley where Logan Creek and Ellington Creek converge. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition between the wooded heights of the Clark National Forest and the fertile creek bottoms, which supported a dense network of rural infrastructure during the mid-twentieth century. Numerous small schools such as Upper Doe Run Sch and Elm Branch Sch indicate a distributed population of timber and farming families across the Reynolds and Carter County line.
