1952 Map of Ellisburg

About this map

The winding valleys and ridges of Casey County define this rural landscape during the early 1950s, centered on the community of Ellisburg. The settlement pattern follows the narrow creek bottoms of the Big South Fork and its numerous tributaries, where small post offices and hubs like Peytons Store served local families. A notable concentration of community institutions appears along the hillsides, including Atwood Chapel, Oak Grove Ch, and Brush Creek Tabernacle, alongside numerous one-room schoolhouses such as Spraggen Sch and Rocky Ford Sch.
