About this map

Eubank serves as a primary hub along the Southern railroad line in this mid-century portrait of the borderlands between Lincoln, Casey, and Pulaski counties. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Fishing Creek and its many tributaries, such as Sims Branch and Lick Creek, which carve deep valleys around Elis Ridge and Brown Ridge. This rugged topography dictated a settlement pattern of small, isolated communities and family-named landmarks connected by winding ridge roads.

Local life is anchored by numerous rural institutions, including Phillips Chapel, Locust Grove Ch, and schools like Pond Sch and Maple Grove Sch. The map reveals a dense network of upland cemeteries, such as Double Spring Cem and Benton Cem, providing a detailed record for genealogical research. From the northern heights near Kings Mountain to the southern reaches of Floyd, the survey captures the transition from high ridge farms to the deeper creek bottoms before major modern developments altered the local character.
