About this map

Eubank and Waynesburg serve as central hubs in this corner of Kentucky, where the Southern railroad corridor dictates the placement of settlements and industry. The landscape transitions from the relatively flat rail-side towns into the dissected ridges of El Ridge and Pilot Ridge to the west. This 1961 revision, based on 1950s fieldwork, highlights a high density of rural institutions, including the Eubank Sch and numerous community landmarks like Phillips Chapel and Locust Grove Ch.

Genealogists can trace several family-linked burial sites, such as the Wall Cem, Gooch Cem, and Double Spring Cem, which are scattered throughout the hills. Small agricultural hamlets like Walltown and Kings Mountain are connected by a network of winding roads that follow natural drainages like Fishing Creek and Sims Branch. The Presence of a Quarry near the northern edge suggests the localized extraction of materials common to this limestone-rich region.
